I don't think we need Daylight Savings Time any more.Monsantos stuff probably has been engineered to grow in the dark or during a nuclear attack anyway and all the small farms are going under.

We were an hour late but oh well. 

While I disagree with Frankin's tomfoolery (seriously, Ben, did the lightning fry your brain? same amount of daylight, just at a different time on the clock), I do like the shorter days and colder temps. Obviously.

Probably because of the less daylight thing.

Right. I guess I should've explained that I'm not planning on riding in dim light. I get home by 3:15, and would still have a good hour to ride — the blink is all about being seen. Especially in those shadowy areas around curves, and with lower sun angles, etc.
 
The rainy season is starting, though - so I'll probably just go to the gym most days.

The blinking is good. Just be aware that there are very few lights out there that will allow you to see, only to be seen. Some do throw a good bright spot 20' in front of you, that's not enough and your eyes will adjust to make the un-illuminated areas seem even darker. Cats, glass, potholes, etc will be even less visible. So plan your route accordingly, if there are roads/streets with no lighting and it's overcast...

Some of the cheapest sets are around $15. at Target. Just have to remember to go do it! No respectable Portlandian goes without them. I've seen many people "blink" in broad daylight, too. They're not taking ANY chances.
