Started out great, the first day riding my bridgestone since my rear wheel encountered the landscape spike. Nice morning, still air about 60 degrees and clear skys. 5 miles into my commute I had to stop for the longest train in history, it took about 15 minutes to pass. after that I moved on, another 3 miles and I stopped at a red light, and a mis-directed lawn sprinkler started and hit me square, a morning shower, just what I needed, a mile down the road I took a left onto a street and a skunk was checking out a manhole about 20' in front of me. I avoided him, as we all know, he owns the road. From there, I stopped at dunkin doughnuts to pick up a couple af bagels for later, it was clear sailing the rest of the trip in to work.
