December 3, it snowed. I took the bike for a 50 mile ride; it was great. Then I filled the motorcycle's tank, and crashed. I crashed again, three times in total, within one mile of my home. A petroleum product under the snow, near the pumps? A slight drop in temperature? A change in balance after fueling? All of the above?

December 4, I had dinner with my mother and my sister. I borrowed the mom's car to give the sister a ride. As we drove up LaSalle, I got a (yellow/red) ticket: $105, and traffic school.

December 5, it was 4 F ( -16 C ) this morning. Hmmm...
