Hey, Kodama, I had that same crosswind...the legendary bi-directional headwind.

Today I was back in sweat pants. The weather was cold, gray, and had a tendency to dribble. It was just sprinkling on the way in.

I would actually have accepted a ride home if it had been offered tonight, but I've trained my co-workers too well. So, into the dark I went. The rain was falling a little more substantially, and it was cold. My streak of nobody using their brights ended tonight (maybe it was just that it wasn't so dark on the other nights?) and my glasses and mirror were spotted with water.

Two miles from home, the rain started falling seriously, and when I got home I was fairly wet and my fingers were numb. I'm dried out now.

BTW, this is the anniversary of my very first post on this thread! (And second commute!) This thread was started last year, April 20th, and still going strong! Go, us!
