My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom
Mimi - have you tried rain-ex? My DH gave me a pair of sophisticated UV protecting goggles that they give to the guys at his job (construction) that are like glasses. I rubbed a little rain-ex on them and they work great in a rain.
They do fog up a bit, though, on hot humid days.
I can do five more miles.
NPR and coffee. I don't want to ride with earphones (I can barely stand them when I'm on a treadmill--when I have sound right in my ear like that all other noises don't penetrate and that tends to make me walk into walls and stuff) so I'm voting for the on-bike Bose.
For the coffee, I'm thinking of getting this: http://www.somafab.com/morningrush.html or some similar design (I think Felt makes one that I could buy locally).

I'd love one of those drive-thru coffee stands, along my route. They are all over the place out in Washington and Oregon, but we don't have many of them in MN. And while I can make and take decent brewed coffee, sometimes I loves me my cappuccino!
