Should have checked the forecast last night instead of watching an old Indiana Jones movie!

Saw grey clouds hovering this morning while i was getting on the bike - figured I could get to work before the sky opened up. Boy, was I wrong.

5 miles into my commute the rain fell down, lightning crashed, the sky cracked open.

I took cover under an awning off someone's house. They eventually came out and started conversation. Told him I was trying to save a buck/get some exercise. He said 'that leaves more gas for me'. Just smiled at him and told him my girlfriend is on her way to pick me up. I'd be out of the way soon enough.

The cars kept whizzing by, throwing water in every direction.

Of course when my girlfriend arrived - the rain practically was all but done.

Figures.
