So the winter storms here have been getting worse and worse. Yesterday the worst yet was forecast, with winds expected to reach 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph. It began raining heavily around 3:30pm, and I began to dread the walk home. Wind-driven rain would mean a thorough soaking. Maybe I'd take the bus instead. Then I got e-mail from Denys asking if I wanted a ride home. He'd gone home early to avoid football traffic downtown, and he'd gotten soaked just walking from the busstop to the house. I happily accepted his offer.
( The five minute drive took a half hour ... )
