Yesterday it was sixty degrees outside, so I took my bike out for the first time all winter. I biked across the river to return a pair of jeans I'd bought online the week earlier; it turns out that online shopping isn't such a great idea when you're barely above five feet and eighty-five percent of pants in the world are too long for you.
