Another nice day, uneventful ride in to work. Home at 10pm very warm after a week of much cooler nights. Lightning in the night sky but no thunder. About two miles from my house it starts to rain then thunder and rain very heavy. Last time I rode in such weather I got hit by a car and have made it a rule not get off the road if it gets like that again. I continued only because the remainder of my ride was on a stretch were there is very little traffic, I only saw one car. My wife was standing on the porch when I arrived, her arms folded across her chest.
