Still it was tempting to drive in today with the thunderstorms predicted. I did beat the rain here, just barely, and I'm glad I resisted the temptation.
Congrats ... that's awesome!

Woke up to a huge blob of rain over the city that was taking its sweet time moving along. I opted for the car, but was wishing I hadn't. There was a huge accident that shut down two or three lanes, backups for miles. Talking 45 minutes to drive 6+ miles ... I bailed and went through downtown, but ugh.
