I've decided against the bike commute today, and here's why:
Yesterday? That "strong" wasn't there. Also, the text weather report says this:
"Locally strong thunderstorms possible. Storms could contain large hail..."
There was more, but I only got as far as "large hail" before I said "aw, hell no." I'm nervous enough about this whole bike commute thing without worrying about possibly being pummeled by big ol' iceballs on my way home.
So, maybe Thursday, when it's supposed to be partly cloudy. The boy can take the bus or something.
UPDATE: Of course, it's now 2:30, and there is absolutely no sign of the deathstorms that weather.com warned me about. Dammit, if it doesn't at least RAIN today, I'm going to be seriously pissed. I gave up my bike commute--for clouds! They're not even DARK clouds!
