Background story: a while back I was tasked to collect "lessons learned" from a big job at work. One of the guys who had some inputs told me, "I don't think we learn any lessons at this place." So his inputs were titled, "Lessons Available to Learn."

Steve's a nice guy buy I hated him this morning, especially when I proved him right. Again.

A line of showers was brushing by the house this morning before I left, so I took the rain bike. Shortly after leaving I thought to myself, "This bike is going 'flump flump flump' with every wheel revolution just like the other bike did last week right before it had a blowout. I should take a look at the back tire when I get home." Sure enough, two miles from work, the bead separated and the tire blew with a bang that resonated around the isolated hollow at the foot of the hill I was in.

So the trip to work was dry, and cool, and I was soaked in sweat by the time I got to work. Plus I feel stupid.
