I think the difference is, you want to ride, but not in the rain. so you convince yourself the ride will be dry long enough to get out the door. if it starts raining oh well, you're out the door riding. kinda like talking yourself into buying a particular used car you know might have mechanical problems later but right now everything is copacetic, so you buy it cuz you really want that particular car, right now
