Last night we had a lull in the storm, and I was going stir-crazy, so I came up with a craving for Snapeas which must be fulfilled. Time for a ride! ;)

Even with all my layers on my toes were cold: it was sundown-cold but crisp and dry, too. I did my supermarket tour, going in for one item and coming out with a dozen, then rode around town in a vague quest for reasonably priced St. John’s wort. Didn’t find any, so I took the back roads home.

The lanes in back of Lodi are dark. With full beams they provide a tunnel through which to shoot, each tree and shrug picked out in gray luminescence. Without full beams, i.e. when there is oncoming traffic, visibility is reduced and it’s as though you were completely surrounded with no sense of the landscape around. This is oddly soothing.

About halfway down Turner Lane, I finally relaxed and the dogged mood-cloud that had muffled me all day dissipated. With breath steaming and extremeties stinging, I hauled my shopping inside and smiled.
