Actually rode my bike because The Boy insisted it wasn't cold out. I suited up slowly, wandered myself and Foxy outside, and realized it was sort-of cold, and it was misting sticky, colder rain. Alas, my laziness and general bad mood prevented me from going back inside.

Three quarters of the way to work, I blew a stop sign and was pulled over by the fuzz. My sincere shock at being pulled over translated into sincere honesty that I really didn't mean to go through a stop sign, and the nice man let me go. I am a fairly safe rider, but there are a handful of stop signs I rarely put my foot down for. This particular one is behind a particularly raucous strip club, and there was no one on the street, so I didn't even pause. Humorously, I made such a point of stopping at the next sign, the cop bought my story.

Not so humorously, I learned the lesson that if I never saw the cop when I blew through the stop sign, it's just as easy to not have seen someone else running the same sign. Bad Scout!
