So I'm scooting to my class this afternoon and I get onto campus via the recently reopened Stanford entrance. I go across the crosswalk, slowing down to avoid some pedestrians. I'm wearing a long, pink cowgirl skirt and a giant puffy jacket along with my half-shell helmet.

One of the pedestrians pauses to give me a once-over and says, calmly, "word." I waved at him. It made my day.
