    Me too. My tips were for riding in light rain. I don't do torrential rain (yet ).

    I have done warm torrential rain. I don't recommend it. I can't even imagine what cold torrential rain feels like.

    Last time I rode TOSRV had torrential rain (as in those without clear lenses couldn't see ten feet in front of them), lightning all around, and tornado sirens. Here's hoping for better this weekend. Still, I'd rather have that than the 35 mph headwinds they had last year.

    Dear Co-workers,

    When you sign up to bring things to the student appreciation potluck, BRING THEM!! Now we have lots of desserts and not enough main courses and NO paper plates. You guys suck!

    Dear Neighbor: Why do all of your guests attempt to park in my driveway? You have your own driveway and space on the street in front of your house. It's clear it's my driveway and not yours. It's bad enough that they're daft enough to park there, but to the extent they have the audacity to argue with me when I ask them to move is simply beyond me. I realize my driveway is actually closer to your door than your own driveway, but that doesn't entitle you to use it.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Dear self--
    I know it's sunny and nice outside for a change, but you don't have to ride if you don't feel like it. I think a splitting headache is a good reason not to ride. If you want to go out and enjoy the sunshine, go sit on the patio and knit or go for a short walk or something. You don't really want to go out for a ride only to have to pull off and puke in someone's yard, do you?


    Dear weather--
    You are on notice. You can stop all this crazy rain stuff next weekend, okay?
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
