Dodging About a Million Bullets

The little white dots in the picture are hailstones, illuminated by the flash, falling onto my front yard. The water in the street is about 6 or 8 inches deep, and running like a river.

Thankfully, I had been home for a couple of hours before this storm got here. I rode home under partly cloudy skies, with a gentle breezy tailwind and temps in the mid-seventies.

Well, I can only hope that it stops raining before 6:00, tomorrow morning, when I leave for work.

  2. Yeah, over an inch of rain in an hour's time, a toddler in a steoller swept away in a flash flood and a teenager drowned in the Highline Canal, avout 2 miles from my house. Bad day.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
