Life telling you to check your ego. The day is not complete. Sitting in the parking lot after an evening run, the sun has already set, when a stranger gets my attention seeking help with a flat tire.

Temps in the high 20s, felt comfortable. Enjoyed the frost cover and the thin coating of ice on the Blackstone Canal.</p>
