Widely scattered thunder storms, hail, & showers were predicted for yesterday afternoon. When I got off the bus it looked like the storm was over so I got the bike out of the car and cycled home. At mile 7 it started to rain. By mile 13 it was poring. I had not washed my helmet or sweatband in quite a while. The rain dissolved all that dried salt. the water running down my face tasted like the ocean and burned my eyes. It was hot so the rain felt pretty good. By the time I got home the temp was dropping, but I made it in time. Little did I know but there was also a tornado warning posted.

This morning was foggy but quiet. For both rides I had to use my fingers as windshield wipers on my glasses.
