Today was great, humidity and heat were exchanged in a violent
thunderstorm last night. Here's how yesterday ended:
Well this mornings commute flat started a bad karma day but my
guardian angel was looking after me. On the return trip I realized
bike 2 was slowly loosing air so fixed it before leaving work. Raced
to the train, made it easily as the train was 1 hour late. I kept
looking at the sky as it darkened. A slow train ride due to high
temps finally arrived at my station. Skies were still OK. I quickly
had to change this mornings flat, large chunk of glass. Went to pump
it up and the pump didn't work. I fiddled with it to no avail, skies
continue to darken. No cell phone, what to do ?? I look at my bike
and realized I had left another pump on the frame from Sundays ride!!
Salvation. I pumped like crazy and took off as the weather was
taking a serious downturn. I was really hot but with one cold and
nasty wind I bacame chilly. The wind was howling, I'm thinking
"where's Dorothy and Toto". The sky was as dark as I've ever seen. I
rode as fast as I could against a very strong wind. I pulled into my
driveway, ran the bike onto the porch and the heavens let loose. I
just escaped, thanks angel, finally the karma changed. Drinking a beer
on the porch during the thunderstorm was a perfect ending.
