It's been pretty bad here the past two days, but I had to get to work this morning. I'm sitting on my back porch, drinking my coffee, watching it pour down rain. I'm watching the radar, news etc.... seeing if there's any chance for a "clearing".... Wind gusts are strong, severe lightning, possibility of hail and probably some flooding.
..then I had my first true "childhood revelation"..(or at least sober one anyway..)
When I was 10 yrs. old, riding bicycles in the pouring rain was "fun"... we used to ride through puddles, mud and openly defied the wind to even try to knock us around. "Obstacles" were just things you jumped over, "wrecking" was no big deal, but still sucked. You "lived" for really close lightning strikes and the ensuing thunder!!! A piece of cardboard was shelter, and impervious to "anything"....
So...as the warm coffee slowly dismisses the end of last night's Heinekin "assault". I realize my next course of action!!... I'm staring at the rain, glance over to the scoot and then back at the rain...
At age 40, and hopefully 30 yrs "wiser"....
THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU GET TO CHOOSE!!!
I'll tell you what I did, but first what would you have done??
Fwiw... how "grown up" are you?

btw, bike remained "upright" all day...
