Warm!

The temperature in Milwaukee hit 22°C today, which is highly unusual for this time of year to say the least. I went downtown by bicycle, ate at the Public Market, rode around by the lake shore, and generally had a nice time out in the warm sun. There were a lot of people out. As summer turns to fall and fall wears on into the season of cold and dark, the number of people I see out on the way to work drops from the summertime six or eight cyclists and even more joggers and walkers to maybe one other cyclist and a die-hard runner or two. Everyone has been hiding indoors for some time now, and they all came out at once when the one day of record warmth came. It was just fun to see other people out again.
