Those who know me know that I bike to work each day. It’s short – a 2.65 mile ride door to door. As I posted a few days ago we have been hit with a lot of late summer wildfire smoke so I suited up in an N-95 for the daily ride. Sigh. It’s a bit much these days. We desperately need rain for a whole host of reasons and even knowing that the rains will arrive, these weeks of dry and heat and smoke take their toll . . . .

It’s been wet around here . . . .

Yes, it has been wet around these parts. Stats include: 10.39 inches this month which is 5.58 inches ABOVE normal. 15.62 inches since October 1 (the meteorological rain year start) which is .16 inches ABOVE normal. For this and more, I am grateful. The bike rides in have been wet, but mostly quite enjoyable. I had one ride home with a slashing wind from the south that was strong enough to slap my cheeks with the stings of rain. It made me howl at times. Of course, going home is nice, because it’s, well, home: dry socks, pants, warmth and family. Yep, good times out west, that’s for sure . . . .
