Wednesdays are rough for me because I don’t get home Tuesday night until 10 or 10:30 at night. So Wednesday I decided to rest and take the subway. Thursday’s weather forecast called for very rainy weather. I probably would have been fine, but there was a chance that things went badly. It turned out to be a record rainfall, something like 2 or 3 inches in a day. One of those inches fell in an hour. I got lucky. I stayed late and by the time I left, the rain was very light. Some places got very flooded, and subway lines were suspended. But none of it affected me. Then Friday I also didn’t ride because I went from work to the bus terminal to get on the bus that takes me upstate. So no riding for three days in a row. Ah well. I think I ought to store a spare set of clothes at work as I did years ago. That way, if I arrive soaked, I’ll be OK.
