Yesterday, which was today yesterday so it qualified yesterday for a Good Ride Today? entry, I rode to work and back. It was, ahem, hooomid. The run home was exciting. About 4:30 I checked the weather radar and saw what looked like a gigantic t-storm sitting just off to the northwest of Woburn but not moving fast. A smaller storm looked to be on an intercept line toward Waltham. Hmm, do I wait or do I run for it?

Then Accuweather's Minutecast started saying rain and a t-storm would hit Woburn in 38 minutes. ("Destruction of your vessel will commence 38 of your earth minutes.") I decided to run. I figured I could escape perdition's flames and maybe miss the smaller storm too. I'd played out that sequence before.

When I stepped outside, sure enough the storm was visible to my right. My route went more to my left and the storm gradually diminished in my mirror. I messed the Waltham-bound storm too but did encounter wet roads as I left Lexington.

I arrived home dripping wet, but not from rain.
