The things I see riding my bike to work...

Snapped this photo on my way to work the other day. This huge tanker is heading up the Hudson River, probably to pick up a load as the water line is pretty low on the bow.

Today I got a flat coming home - the first flat suffered on my way to or from work in the past few years. I've had slow flats, discovered after I arrived home or at work, but never any that I discovered en route. As I changed the flat, I noticed how thin the tire tread was. I've only got a few hundred miles on this Serfas tire, and the tread was already as thin as the sidewalls. So, on the way home I stopped at my LBS and picked up a pair of Specialized Armadilloes. They don't roll as well, but at least I can avoid flats.
