Journey through the dark side

Needed to get some "real life" stuff done this morning before work, so I decided to train early, I mean real early. So while some of you were getting your last bits of REM sleep before hitting the snooze button again, I was out the door, at 5:15am. Got a couple good hard hrs in, and was back to the pad before 7:30. My whole perspective of my surroundings changed this morning. The darkness, and the cool temps.( it was 57* on one sign in Mission) took me to a completely different place. I mean, it actually felt like Fall out there. I could have been back in Cali., N.C., Oregon, heck I could have been just about anywhere in the darkness. So as I motored on I was quite content with things, then something changed...........the sun started to come up and reality set in.
