@tchrist That's why I live on the 35th parallel (more or less). Today was our coldest day since maybe February, and it got to 45 with no snow. Got rained on while riding yesterday, though.

@M.A.R. Well you learn something new every day I guess. Regardless of that, the reward message remains unexplained, except maybe it's referencing the exposure questions get from being featured.
