Yay Mimi! That's what we do around here. Remember that day about five years ago when we had 5 inches of rain? Chris did his 34-mile round trip commute that day. He was very pleased with himself.
Hard to live here if you don't do stuff in the rain.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
