Good thing i'm not made out of cotton candy...

i had to make a run to the grocery store.
ok, that's easy, it's just a couple miles away.
i get outside and i'm about to take my bike down the steps to the street, when i notice a rumbling...
hmm... whatever yo, i'm up.
i start off riding, and there are these monstrous storm clouds out to the west with all sorts of lightening strikes going on.
this storm looks like it's about to break real soon.
hmm... whatever yo, i'm almost there.
i make it to the store under cover of threatening clouds, get inside, do my shopping, and come back out.
and...
no, the storm hasn't broken hardcore yet. it is raining a little. but not so bad.
hmm... whatever yo, it's not that far back to the crib.
so i take off, hopeful that i can make it back before this thing kicks off for real.
and...
i can't.
the wind starts blowing, there are BIG EFFING RAINDROPS coming down, big enough that they actually sting, and i'm trying to ride along hauling a load of groceries on my back.
i was all sorts of soaked and nasty by the time i got in the door, but hey, i've got food!
yay food!
