Aaaaaaah, shit.

[asthmaticeog]

I rode my bike to work today, and now that it's almost quittin' time, it's fuckin' POURING down rain.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

1. I hate it when that happens

How long is your ride home?

[asthmaticeog]

2. Not too terribly long, sort of.

As the crow flies, it's under a mile, but in reality, my neighborhood is cut off from the downtown area by Northeast Ohio's scenic industrial valley, so it's a long and convoluted route full of steep hills and river-crossings. I'm going to wuss out and hit a coworker up for a lift home - the rain's just getting harder and harder.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. I feel your pain

As a former short-term Pittsburgher, I know how hard the topography in that region can be.

[Shell Beau]

3. That sucks!

[asthmaticeog]

6. Yep - don't know why I didn't check the weather report this morning.

I've gotten so used to riding to work every day that I guess I started taking the weather for granted, which, to any Cleveland-dweller, spells doom.

[Cathyclysmic]

20. don't bother, the weather guy said no rain today.

bastard

[asthmaticeog]

21. I WILL KEEEEEL HEEEEM!

[progmom]

4. i'll be right there to pick you up

well, if i lived in cleveland i would. :)

[asthmaticeog]

7. Awwww!

You're too cool! :pals:

[JimmyJazz]

10. You would? For real?

Not me. I'm mean. :7

[asthmaticeog]

11. Why do you hate me so?

This is really too much to bear!

:cry:

[JimmyJazz]

12. I hate you for your freedoms.

Why else?

[asthmaticeog]

19. *whew* -- THAT'S a relief!

I have so few freedoms these days that it hardly matters!

[johnnie]

8. Hmm

I thought I heard thunder, but it didn't look like rain here in Garfield.

[asthmaticeog]

9. Really? That's not that far...

downtown's all with the thunder and the lightning and the water falling down from the firmament right now. Maybe it'll pass soon?

[johnnie]

14. Yeah

I just walked outside and saw it. Looks nasty.

[terrya]

13. Well, that sucks.

That's George W. Bush's America for ya, isn't it? :grr:

[JimmyJazz]

15. That is SOOOO lame to blame this on Boosh -

you know it's really Clinton's fault! :crazy:

[asthmaticeog]

17. .

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Damn the Bush Crime Family - is there any evil they won't beset us with?

[Dukkha]

16. how far's your ride?

I was a bike messenger in S.F. for six years. Oh how I HATED those fucking El Nino seasons! :mad: If I can endure working the whole day in rain trying in vain to keep my packages & smokes dry, I'm sure the commute home will be tolerable at best.

[asthmaticeog]

18. I'm afraid I just don't have a messenger's skills or nerves.

Hats off to you for doing the bike-courier thing in such a hilly city. If I moved there I'd probably sell my bike and buy a Vespa.
