Last night I left into a shower; the radar showed green over me, a gap, and then some yellow (heavier rain). That's how it played out. I got home to a wife wondering where I was and whether I needed to be rescued from the rain. I explained the radar, and why I was somewhat damp, and got the gimlet eye. Two minutes after we wrapped that up, the deluge hit. Whew!

This morning was mixed overcast but no rain. I was thinking as I rode, "Riding in shorts and short sleeves is coming to an end. It's almost cool."

A timely warning, indeed. The rechargeable blinky I turned on to be noticed in the rain may or may not have lasted until the first shower stopped. It was certainly dead by the time I got home.
