 Misery Loves Headwind
Heading North down Hinkleyville toward the Ridge, the chill of the headwinds were immediately uncomfortable. So I turned back home after a quarter mile and changed into long pants.

Re-starting the commute now 1:25 pm, a little pressed for time. The headwinds remain persistent and challenging. Thirty-Eight minutes of grimaces and muttering later, and I have finally arrived at the HCSD Transportation compound.

The return home was much less unpleasant with some favorable crosswinds when heading West.
