A Tandem Ride - To the Senior Center

It was again a cold (29 Deg), dark, drizzly day today.  However, as usual as of late, the moisture mostly cleared up around midday so we decided to ride our Tandem Terratrike around the block for lunch.  We like the local Senior Center, since we are of legal age, after all, and thus far the fare there has been above reproach.
Today was taco plate day, and what's not to like about that? 
The outside temperature was nothing to be enthused about, hovering close to 29-30 degrees all day, but it wasn't far away and we knew we could survive without bundling up too overly.
I wore only 2 layers:  A sweater inner and a windbreaker outer.  That wasn't too bad, but my insulated gloves were not up to snuff and my pinkies were totally numb by the time we arrived. 
The lunch serving-time was almost over when we walked in but they served us and the food was fine.
Everyone seems to be watching out the doorway when we ride up.  Though no one was outside when we rode up and parked, several of the group inside either commented on our "vehicle" or asked if it was ours and expressing interest.
We didn't stay long, as we had things to do.  We rode round the town square on the way back, safe and unmolested.  Still bitterly cold but dry.
