Windows can be wonderful. They let the daylight in, and they even come into song. These aren\’t quite the words I remember, but I do remember \”go in and out the windows\”.

This morning I seemed to be going in and out of weather windows. At about 6:40 am, I heard what I thought was thunder. It wasn\’t close; and I wasn\’t quite sure that I wasn\’t hearing the garbage truck, which comes through on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Several more times in the ensuing hour, I heard distant thunder again. The forecast I checked last night had said, \”partly cloudy\”. So I got ready for a trip to the salvage store.

I had already taken the hybrid and the trailer outdoors when I looked up at the sky, and saw a big, dark cloud looming. The wind was starting to blow the way it does when all fury is about to break loose. I carried both items back indoors, and checked the weather site. There was a T-storm advisory posted, so I decided not to go to the store.

It rained on and off, but in less than an hour the sun was trying to come out. I went out on the road bike and put in the mileage that I would have gotten by riding to and from the salvage store. It was starting to get pretty hot before I got back home.

Then I took the hybrid for a ride to the drug store. When I came back out, there was a big, black cloud in the sky. It looked like it might rain soon, and I was glad to get back home dry.

I hope I get another weather window tomorrow morning. Cycle September is still going, and I want to ride!
