Oh boy, I've received countless offers to drive me home when it rains. I've had my step-daughter call me up and offer to come pick me up. Over time, they've slowly come to terms with the fact that I actually enjoy the rain, that I tend to go out of my way to ride when it rains, that I've been known to leave for work early (and leave work early) just to catch the rain..... And yes, most of them think I'm nuts. I get a strange form of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment out of riding in heavy downpours. It also makes me feel like a kid again....
