Not a good commute day for me. We've had a cold front lingering over the state and storms keep popping up with extremely high humidity. Made it to work in the morning without getting rained on but was totally wet from sweat. On the ride home, it started raining as soon as I left the office and pretty well soaked me in first 5 minutes. Then my tires slid out on a corner only 1/4-mile from home, and I went down. No damage to my bike or serious injuries to myself, but I have nice patch of road rash covering my hip. Strangely, however, it didn't put a hole in my shorts or jersey.
