I either carpool with coworkers or take the bus when it's this bad. I have a waterproof hooded parka that I can wear while riding in the rain, but it's hard to turn my head and look behind myself when I have the hood on. So I've been thinking about getting a shower cap for my helmet and just wear the parka with the hood down. The parka is great when I am caught in the rain. You can get one at Target for $8. I hope to get a proper rain cape one day. I decided to carpool with a friend today (because it's pretty bad, as you know). And my umbrella BROKE on the way to my friend's house, damn cheap umbrella. I love walking in the rain, stomping in rain puddles. You can't ride in rain puddles, not safe for your tires, you know... ho hum oh dear no, while I don’t mind riding when it’s sprinkling/drizzing out, I do not like riding when it’s storming like today.

But then, that might change seeing as how I'm dating a great guy (dating = eating more) and it's the holiday season (eating a lot more). Thanks for the shoutout Siel! oh, it’s 90 pounds now…
