Whoa! Kimmyt! What a ride! That post should be in adventure stories!

MP--yes, really, hail, some of it 2 cm in diameter. The funny thing is, it's still kind of warm here, so when the hail started hitting my windshield (I had *just* gotten in the car), I thought it was flowers falling from the trees. It was mushy and sort of splatting on the glass. Then the really frozen stuff started--ice being flung at me from heaven. How incredibly glad was I not to be on a bike?!? I would've pulled off at the grocery store and hidden under their awning, but I would've been cold and wet, and still had to ride home when the hail let up. Glad it missed you, beta.
