Rain, Rain, Rain

The rain continues today. The students were disappointed because a soccer tournament between the middle school houses has to be cancelled until mid-May.
I couldn't ride my bike this morning. In many cities, taking a bike ride in the rain is no big deal; you get a little wet, that's all. But in this part of the city, the water on the streets backs up very quickly. The puddles can disguise missing manhole covers, monster chuckholes which have appeared over night, bricks, etc. But the worst thing is the quality of the water. It begins to look and smell like sewage very quickly. At any rate, it tends to spoil a perfectly good bike ride.
Maybe Wednesday.
