Wife to me as I'm leaving "Be careful, severe thunderstorm warning in Northern Lancaster county". Me to myself "Psh, that's up north, I'm fine - I'll take the short route". Sometimes, in my line of work, we refer to things as a ID 10 T error. This is case in point. Particularly considering I'm a trained storm spotter, which of COURSE kicked in halfway to work when I looked west and went "oh... !@#!"
15 minutes later I arrived at work, completely drenched to the laughter of my other early-arriving co-workers. It was, as they say, amusing in volumes :).
Haven't had much time to blog lately, unfortunately, as I've been inundated with work and whilst home, I've been enjoying a computer-lite existence. I of course have about 8 blog posts in my head, but every time I sit down to write one I end up grabbing my book of the day and reading, or chasing the Tasmanian Terrorist Toddler around. Last week I rode every day aside from Monday, which was the day I stayed home from work with back pain, and enjoyed nearly all of them. Except for Tuesday which would be the day where I was terribly dehydrated as I'm not yet used to 90+ degree days with 90+% humidity. Or.. just another in a series of "how does he constantly get dehydrated!"
Today a high of 97, and after the two feet of rain we just got, I'm betting 97% humidity. I'll sweat the pounds off, if nothing else. Weigh in day is Thursday, and a good day it'll be.

Are you still using the same system of bringing in a week's worth of clothes into work like you did back in January? Just curious as I sweat a good amount and interact with the public on a daily basis but have room for storage of clothes and a locker or coat closet to hang work clothes. Work clothes consists of pants and collared shirts. Love the blog. Keep it up.
After getting several dowsings last year and this spring, I have also figured out it's good to have spare clothes at work. Especially socks. Good job on the commuting.
Shawn - I am indeed, and you know what? It rocks. Not having to think about clothes in the morning (thus, setting yourself up to forget something) and not having the extra bulk on the bike every day is awesome. I have the same kind of attire, and I found it next to impossible to transport most of my shirts without wrinkling them on the bike.. so driving them in is the way I roll.
Big Oak - LOL, I now have my old pair of cycling shorts, an old t-shirt, and some old socks in my drawer at work - just in case :). While I live close by and can easily drive home to pick something up, what's the fun in that? :)
