I saw that last night too. The entire sky was unbelievable from 4 all the way to sunset. For me, it made up for the week.
I rather enjoyed being unaffected by all the street flooding yesterday. Well, Oxford St was a series of curb-to-curb ponds. A ped was walking down the sidewalk by one. I couldn't resist taking me feet off the pedals and and screaming, "Weeeeee!" as I rode by him. He laughed. So, yeah, maybe I was affected.
This morning, the wind's a tailwind for me. Could be a challenge on the way home though.
