5k is a great tally.

My commute total on the year's last workday [yay!] is 208 cycling days of a possible 227, a total only made possible by our historic drought, as I don't (intentionally) ride in the rain. It would have been 209 except--wait for it--it's raining.

Snowpack today is over 100% of average! Fingers and toes crossed for more of same through April. I'll gladly trade my May hiking at 9k feet for a normal winter.

And that's my Christmas wish for my fellow backpackers.

Cheers,
