A real deluge on and off right now. I had just finished my Saturday errands, getting home moments before the sky ripped open. I pedal in teh rain anyway, but like it when I don't have to.

It looked like eh storm had passed, which is why I'm online, but another has rolled up. I guess I'd better unplug to again....Did you hear that one?
