I wanted to see how the street-scaping was progressing so I took Lawrence to the lakefront this morning. It wasn't too bad, other than at least 6 drivers pulling out directly in-front of me to squeeze through like it's still two lanes when things backed up. Which really seemed to upset everyone else, b/c people were trying to sneak through yellows and reds, creating more clusterfucks at every intersection up to Clark. But other than feeling like my life was in danger it was fine. I'm sure a final coat of paint will calm everything down.
My ride home was the first time I was really caught in a storm this year. Confirmed that I do not melt in the rain, but there were a few minutes during which I was concerned that I would drown! And if anyone is wondering if the pedestrian/bike underpass at Fullerton floods when it rains hard I can confirm that it does and it gets deep.
4 star was spectacular! What magnificent weather, and the 43 mile route was really well planned. There are so many beautiful parts of our city on the south side.
Gene, I cannot believe you found that much light this morning. And those last flowers look completely bedraggled!
There were moments when it seemed to be nighttime, Lisa. It helps to have a good camera. Fortunately, I was not bedraggled. As others have mentioned, playing in the rain makes me feel like a 'yute' again.
