I Missed The Storm

Being lazy, I got up late and drove to work. I missed riding home in the rain, cold, wind, hail, and lightning. The thunder sounded like a gunshot. I had a chance to prove my mettle against the forces of nature, but I was only a spectator.

I saw dedicated cyclists on the road, bless their hearts. I wish I had been with them. I'm sure I'll get another chance to test my will against the weather, but to ride the lightning? That doesn't happen very often.
