On a dark and rainy morning...

Motorist: "Don't you hate riding your bike in the rain?"

Me: "It's rain, not acid."

Why do people hate rain? I'll admit that it sucks when the weather is cold but it is refreshing on a hot day. I guess people are afraid of their hair getting messed up (my head is shaved) or their clothes getting damp (I shower and change clothes once I get to work).

Like so many other outdoor activities, the key to enjoying yourself is to learn to ignore petty discomforts.

Not sure about Europeans but Americans sure have become soft and whiny.
