When You Can't Walk Because Of The Sun

After I got off the train, the sun was at such an angle that there were patches of my walk where I couldn't see. I was blinded by the sun. It was pointed right in my eyes.

If someone wanted to take something from me...like my wallet...this morning around North Station would have been the time to do it.

I wonder if pickpockets use the angle of the sun to their advantage...

No racing today, but I did see a woman pick her nose. I just happened to look in my rearview mirror and there she was...digging for China.

Other than that, it was pretty uninteresting. I did have some frosted-up windows that did impair my view...but I'm a pro.

I can drive this route with my eyes closed.
