    Jesus, Beth. That was your office. Holy ****. Have ANOTHER drink. And I don't even drink very much.

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."

    Yikes, Beth! You deserved that drink!

    Dear weather--
    I'm going to trust the Doppler radar--against my better judgement--and go for a ride. Behave, okay?
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    I hope it was a good drink Beth, I saw the news this morning

    Hope it was good Owlie! Our report said it wouldn't rain last night but it did...so no rides since last Sunday. That IS going to change this afternoon when I get off work. It is supposed to be around 70 and frankly, I have three bikes, and ONE of them is getting ridden when I get home from work - the on only thing that will stop me is a torrential downpour or lightening

    That was exactly my mindset when I rode to work this morning. I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna get drenched on the way home, but I can't take not riding anymore

    Good luck....hope that the weather holds out for you!

    Me too. Many thanks to the informant who called the police, then cooperated with the investigation. So this morning going in, news crews were out front again for the morning news shows - and in the enclosed park area next to the building were our Federal police officers playing catch with officer dog. K9 was a very happy dog, lots of space to run in, ball to chase. The irony was amazing.

    The weather lied, dammit. (Okay, they said scattered showers...and apparently they were scattered near the trail!) I got soaked. I went out with the intention of doing 30 miles, and actually did 34, but I spent the last half with a wet chamois, wet jersey, wet socks and a very dirty bike. I wound up taking two breaks while I waited for the rain to ease up. It wasn't too heavy, and my tires handled surprisingly well for being dry-only tires, but if I make a habit out of getting caught in the rain (surprisingly fun, actually, and makes for a good story for the rain-hating BF!), I'm going to need new tires.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
