We are in the "thunderstorm roulette season" in NC. Every day there is a chance of afternoon thunderstorms, some severe. Yesterday I drove as it was pouring rain when I got up and it kept coming down like that off-and-on all day long. Ironically, it hardly rained at my house after the morning showers passed, but it rained almost all day at my office. Today it was warm and cloudy again but no rain showing on the radar, so I'm taking my chances. According to the forecasters, there's a 35% chance of rain by afternoon, which means a 65% chance that it won't rain. I'll take those odds.

My legs were still tired this morning from a fast 56-miler on Memorial Day, and I had a headwind all the way to work, so the going was slow. That and catching 7 of 8 red lights on my route (actually there are 11 lights, but 3 of them are right turns, so I can roll through them). Humidity is way up from all of the rain we have lately -- about 11" in the past 10 days by my rain gauge.
