[10:17 AM EST - The snows still won't come yet.]

It seems as if the warm weather will be here for a little longer. We should be getting unseasonably warm temperatures for the next few days so I think I'll keep on riding this week..

[11:54 AM EST - What is a "tween"?]

Hey, hold on here. I had thought that "tween" was someone who was a teenager, or someone in their early twenties. But I looked up the word and saw that tween was actually a preteen? Well, I nearly misused the word.

Is there a description for someone in the late teen/early twenties group?

[1:14 PM EST - Driving Conditions: Not just colour blind.]

I was riding around this weekend to take advantage of the warm weather. When I went shopping on Saturday, I took a more scenic route to the grocery store. I had to make a left turn at a major intersection and we were given an advance green. The light changed just before the car in front of me got there so it stopped, at the line.

Now normally, cars turning left would cheat and move into the intersection so that they get a head start in a turn, or make the turn during the light change, but this guy sat behind the line patiently. Perhaps he knew something I didn't?

The light started changing with no change to the car's position, so I knew he wasn't going anywhere. Well, as soon as the light turned red, the car started inching forward. I was so shocked that I was not in the right presence of mind to honk. Is the driver really doing what I thought he was doing?!?

The perpendicular traffic also had advance lights for their left turning vehicles, so the car continued moving forward. That is until the main traffic started crossing right in front of him. That is when the driver realized the error of his ways and I saw the white lights turn on.

Fortunately, this one didn't try running me over like the last one.
