thought I'd end up working at home all day today but a much needed form, that should have been downloadable as a .pdf and wasn't anywhere on the website, required that I ride in at break neck speed in order to deliver it to an office by 5pm. Wind was in my face the whole way. With 100% humidity. Not raining but I was soaked even with rain gear by the time I got downtown. Ended up staying downtown until 11pm due to meetings and commitments I'd completely forgotten about and when I came out it was a deluge of rain. Put on the full rain gear with bright yellow slicker, yellow flashing vest, blinkie, rear light, front light and head off into the downtown traffic. As I'm crossing a 4 lane one way making my way from right lane to left between the public gardens and the commons a small black limo runs the red onto Charles street and won't let me take the left lane. He actually saw me and then sped up in a raging downpour to keep me from taking the lane. I'm going about 25 mph on this stretch in order to take the lane and have to fall back to let this jerk pass me and as he does this well dressed guy about 60 in the back seat flips me off!

Needless to say I crank it and get right behind him but every light is miraculously green. If I'd stayed with him I'd have caught him on the other side of the Garden as he headed, undoubtedly, down Newbury Street but I opted to veer off and hit the bike path as I normally would and head home. I made great use of my rage and got home in great time despite the rain.
