No Sun In My Eyes

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

There was nothing but blue sky.

By the afternoon it clouded over and even managed a sprinkle or two.

After work the sky had turned nearly silver and mostly cloudy, nearly overcast. No sun in my eyes tonight.

• 66F/19C and blue sky for the ride to work.
• 84F/29C and mostly cloudy for the home ride.

I'm Just Grateful

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

We had really interesting clouds.

It seems this year we either have nothing but blue sky or a sky full of high boring silver clouds.

 An even more unusual sight was this guy on a gas powered push scooter. I used to see them once in a while, but haven't for some time.

He's in an alley. I don't think this type of scooter is street legal in the City, and if they are I'm positive a safety flag is required.

The ride home brought almost overcast conditions. Oh well, back to silver skies.

There is no rain in the forecast, but it certainly looked like it wanted to cook something up. Tomorrow more wonderful weather is forecast. No one is complaining, but a few are wondering how bad we'll have to pay in the future for our paradise today. Me? I'm just grateful.

• 65F/18C and interestingly cloudy for the ride to work.
• 84F/29C and boring cloudy for the home ride.

Don't Regret My Decision.

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

I heard no one complain about the weather, not even Deputy V. and he always complains about the weather. He came in this morning gushing about how wonderful the cool temperature was. "It almost feels like early Fall," he said. I'm glad he was happy. I know I was.

A question.

I'm trying to find out what this color is called. It is almost teal. I think it might be called "New Blue." I asked the Deputy who owns it what the color was called. His response? "Hell, I don't know." So, there you go.

I'd thought about taking the really long way home tonight, but Heather let me know she was going to the Botanical Gardens tonight. Leo, our cat, has relapsed. He is displaying the symptoms of an ear infection again; the pathetic head turning, the scratching, and being lethargic. I decided I'd rather be home to feed him at his accustomed time. He starts back on ear drops tomorrow. He'll love that ... not.

It sure was nice out though.

Still, I don't regret my decision.

• 58F/14C and sunny for the ride home.
• 81F/27C with an occasional cloud and a silver sky for the ride home.

The Long Way

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

While the weather was very steamy on Saturday and very warm yesterday, today it was back to being "Resort Weather". This, plus me riding the Red Fox, meant taking the long way home.

I rode down 8th Street until it met up with Broadway.

The lights conspired against me and I didn't get a photo of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, but I did get a photo of the old Lemp Brewery.

I didn't take a really really long way home. I, also, wanted to get in an inline skate on Grant's Trail.

It seems with the new windscreen and jury-rigged seat I'm putting some miles on the Kymco again.

• 66F/19C and clear for the ride to work.
• 77F/25C and mostly cloudy for the homeward ride.

Made Me Chuckle

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

It wasn't supposed to rain today, but it sure looked like rain come lunchtime. I was in my usual place in the Subway across the Street from the Courthouse when two Deputies came in. One of them is a rider. "Did you ride today?" he asked me. Before I could respond the other Deputy piped up, "Did the sun come up this morning?" This made me chuckle. I guess I have a reputation.

I'd looked at radar before I left the Courthouse for lunch. The storms were mostly to our north and if we did get any rain, it appeared it would be long gone before it was time to ride home. I shared the information with the Deputies. "What's the matter didn't you bring raingear?" the non-rider Deputy asked. "Oh, I've got raingear, but that's not the point," the rider said.  He didn't clarify just what his point was, but I think the other deputy and both got it.

It did rain come mid afternoon.

And by homing time the streets were dry.

A heat advisory has been issued for tomorrow. Goodbye "Resort Weather".

• 69F/20.5C and overcast for the ride to work.
• 79F/26C and pretty cloudy for the home ride.

Out Late

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

The tale of the motorcycle parking area was an easy read.

The weather today was back to being mighty fine.

And . . .

I had a meeting which kept me out late. So, off to bed it is.

• 64F/18C and clear for the ride in.
• 81F/27C and delicious for the ride home.

It Never Does

Yes, I rode to work today.

And . . .

The day started out hot and humid.

But, the rain they forecast stayed well south of us.

As the humidity lessen during the day and the sun shone bright ...

My gear seemed to taunt me. I willed five o'clock to come quickly.

It didn't. It never does.

• 81F/27C and humid cloudy for the ride to work.
• 84F/27C and no heat index for the home ride. Sweet.
