		Hey Now, What's That Sound? It's raining, really coming down, hard and steady. First we've had in quite some time. It may get back up into the mid 80's for the end of the week (just in time for our final end-of-summer Labor DayArts Blowout (curiously, named after a British term for an umbrella), and we may even have a few more weeks of reasonably good weather in the offing, but this is as sure a sign as any that summer is just about over. Sounds good, clean like a tap turned on. The ground is going to soak it up like a sponge. Unfortunately, if it continues through the evening and into tomorrow, it also means the roads are going to be slick as ice from the accumulated oil, grease, and othe hydrocarbon based lubricants that have built up on the pavement the last few months. It's going to be a nasty commute tomorrow, and probably not a good day to be riding on two-wheels. Still, I have no one to blame but myself. Really, it's all my fault. Yesterday I bought rain gear for riding "Little Nellie" in just such conditions. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yeah, tomorrow might be a very good day to take the bus to work. In the meantime, I'm just going to sit hear and listen to the sounds and smell the scent of the world being washed clean. Posted byCOMTE on 9:55 PM
