Well, the dust storm as has passed, but the smoke is back, evidently the brain-dead muther f**kers (i.e. firebugs) are at it again. I rode today but I really shouldn't have. I had a sore throat for the next two hours and I've still gotta ride home yet (unless I leave my bike at work and get the bus home or something) .

For those who have rain or even hail, I would gladly trade places with any of yuo at this point.
