yucky mucky day here in DC - its been raining steadily for about 12 hours so it was a slightly slower than usual commute as I negotiated the various flooded sections of the bike path and eased up a little on speed to account for the freshly fallen leaves - I did get to try out my booties for the first time however and I was really impressed and pleased - my feet were bone dry and I didn't think I looked that dorky at all!
