I was going to abuse David Crosby’s lyrics with a reworking into Almost Drove My Truck Today. Something like …
Almost drove my car
Happened just the other day
Trips are gettin’ kind of long
I could’ve said it was just today
But I didn’t and I wonder why
I feel like letting my bike pride fly
And I feel like I owe it, yeah … to someone, yeah
Well, must be because I had the flu this Christmas
Oh, yeah and I’m not feeling up to par
Oh, I tell you baby this increases my paranoia
Yeah, like looking in my mirror and seeing an SUV car

Instead the rumble of thunder and a forecast of hail tripped the decision to drive and, well, I really did drive. It’s been 44 commute days since I last drove, back in the second week of June. Tomorrow I’ll start up a new streak. For now, Hail to the streak that was!
