Default Why is it that everytime I ride...

Why is it everytime I ride to work, it's always pouring down rain by lunchtime? It could be beautiful clear blue skies when I leave, but by lunch, it's pouring.
Makes me so mad.
I suppose that's Okinawa for me.

Can I recommend A nice healthy dose of the 11 oclock news. It has a time released progream called the weather. If you hold out long enough all the little bits and pieces come together in the end for a.....Wait for it.... A full report! It usually is long enough and boring enough to put you to sleep right after it is over so it can also be used as a sleep aid! LOL That is a bummer man! I hate riding in the rain. And of course, we ALL know about those weather reporters! DAMN LIARS!

You need some reverse psychology for that rain. Wear a rain jacket and it will rarely rain on you. It works for me.

Gotta love the weather! Forecast here the other day called for 70% chance of rain. Never rained a drop. Forecast for a different day called for 10% chance of rain. It poured like the dickens. Must be nice to have a job and be wrong most of the time.
