One thing I neglected to mention this morning about my ride was that at one point, while I was rolling along through Cherokee, a red SUV stopped in front of me for a while. No big deal. As I got closer, I realized that the driver was taking my picture. I stopped and we chatted. He works for the AP and was documenting the wintry morning. He then stopped a little further down the road and took it again. I think the 2nd shot is this one. He commented that he wanted more snow in the background, and that he liked my red jacket "popping". I'm sort of giddy. I doubt anything will come of this, but I have professional documentation of my robust effort this morning. And you never know. Maybe I'll be famous. That's all that matters, right?
