Check In week 51

1478 miles!  AND one week away from walking and biking for an entire YEAR!
My daughter doesn't know what her reward is yet but it's big and very exciting.  I can hardly wait but with so much excitement happening this month she will have to wait until next month to find out what is happening in February :)
The weather has been pretty easy for the last week.  Makes travel so much more pleasant.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do about xmas shopping but I rode my bike to the toy store and picked up a few things and then used the power of the internet to order a few more things that are out of my reach.  Thank you kindly world wide community.
One more item that I must speak of that is not quite as pleasant is something that happened last week while I was riding my bike.  A man in a huge jeep carelessly pulled out in front of me and came very close to killing me.  There is no doubt in my mind that the injuries he could have caused would have been severe.  It was shockingly upsetting and I cried uncontrollably.  Even more alarming, he refused to take responsibility for how unaware he was while driving a multi-ton steel machine.  It frightens me how unaware drivers can be.  Please drivers, I beg you, watch the road.  Slow down and enjoy the ride.  Life is precious.
