Can you tough it out ? Yesterday it rained on my way home. Worse than any communte home I had last year. Puddles up to my bag harnessed on the side of my bike. I have to tell you I didnt think I would have a laptop today. Im glad it survived. I spent more on my laptop this year then most people spent on the cars they were driving around in the rain. It would sadden me to lose that type of investment. thank god for those waterproof bike messenger bags. For now i will carry it in my backpack. In other new got a flat tire on my way to work and had to walk about 2 miles to work. Running late is never on my high list of priorities. It does lead me to think, how many people would have just called it a day and been done with it. I mean rain and more rain and two flat tires in a week. Is this a sign of things to come?  Well, that depends are you an optimist ? I complain A LOT, but that works for me. But, I am still an optimist. Sometimes going green, and getting healthy has sacrifices. torrential rain would be one of them.
