Me too. They said it was only a 20% chance of rain this morning, but I rode through some wet areas that had apparently been rained on.

Also this morning... In the inky darkness, I made out the form of a dog approaching the road. I saw it was trotting in the road and thought it was coming at me. His head looked HUGE. I got out my water bottle and kept my line (thinking that moving further away would look like I was fleeing and inducing a chase). I passed withing about 6 feet of him and I thought he decided to come at me, so I let him have it with the water bottle. It was then, as he yipped in surprise, that I realized what I thought was a big head was really a paper bag with stuff in it that he apparently pulled out of a garbage can. I think he was going away from me and never knew I was there until he got wet.

Poor doggie!
