deceptively sunny mornings
All week, I have awoken to blue sky peeking above the top of my makeshift curtain in the bedroom. I check the weather report. The word "rain" shoots down my plans to join Bike To Work Week. I like to be environmentally responsible, but it only takes one slippery patch to ruin my morning. The stress of dealing with decreased visibility and cranky drivers is really worth missing. I have to admire those who are committed enough to brave the unpredictable Oregon spring.
I join the ranks of highway drivers for another ordinary day. The morning and afternoon are sunny, punctuated by downpours at lunchtime and going-home-time.
