Morning:55 degrees, sunny. But not for long. We're looking at eight days of rain starting tomorrow. There was an ungodly mess of traffic the whole way - chaos in Kenmore, people jamming on their brakes, doors flying open every 10 yards. I dropped my chain twice, tried using a twig (yeah, a twig) to get it back on so I wouldn't show up to work with grease all over my face and hands, failed - see photos. It seemed like everyone was doing 80 mph today.
Evening:
53 degrees. Now we're looking at at least nine days of rain coming up. Nine days of sitting at my cube in damp clothes. "So get a rain suit," you say. No. Not going to do it. I'll wear my scorching yellow rain jacket, but that's it.
Every once in a while I snap a picture that really says it all. Look at this beaut I took whilst navigating Enter the Dragon this evening. Several Perfectly Oblivious Pedestrians (POPs) , being skirted by a cyclist. POPs are different from SAPs (Suddenly Appearing Pedestians). Whereas POPs move like meandering cattle in plain view, SAPs are more monkey-like.
They tend to dart out from between parked cars and from between cars waiting at stop lights.
