This report will begin not with my ride but when I got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. As I was standing there using the toilet I heard a ploping noise, I couln't figure it out, and then I realised my water heater was leaking. I went running to fix it, or something, then noticed the plopping was coming from outside. It was raining! First time since June or thereabouts.

I left my house at a bit before 8:00 AM. The ground was damp but not enough for the tires to pick up water. I hit the stop light perfectly, but lots of traffic at the school, and a 1+ minute wait at a stop sign, but the commute still came in at 10 minutes or so.
