Yeah but morning commutes are from warm house to warm work, all within about an hour, right? When you know you're between warmness, I think there is a mental thing there that happens that makes it less bearable...

Much less than an hour, unfortunately- but you're right, the knowlwdge that there's a hot shower available at each end makes a big difference.

Where are you now then?

I be in Gole, small town of 10,000 people in eastern Turkey. Having a day off here in the internet cafe. Catching up on the outside world and all that. My blog is always fairly up to date if you want to keep up on the progress.

Whoa, dude -- that's burly. Temps like those are why I moved away to Seattle (a temperate wonderland). Have fun in Gole. I'm totally jealous of the food you must be eating right now.

Mike, I need pepper spray and the works. Pity I can't find any here...

Tim, I keep meaning to take photos of the great food here. Problem is that I'm always half way through it before I remember...priorities, I guess.

You're still wearing shorts though, right?

Good luck with the rest of the trip.

Cheers for the encouragement!
