Crawling Commute

It's raining and has been over night. It was a good day to drive . . . until I hit the Freeway. It took me ten minutes to go the first mile. I usually try not to look at accidents because I hate feeding into the slowdown. It's really hard to NOT look!

Today the traffic was crawling along and so there was no reason not to look. As I came upon the accident, there was a large tractor trailer blocking my view. Even if I wanted to see it, I couldn't. Right at the last minute, the trailer pulled ahead, revealing this tremendous wreckage of a Semi Tractor that had hit the bridge abutment. I suddenly wished I had prepared my camera. What the Hell was I thinking, not having it at the ready?! I always have it with me for just such an occasion. I pretty much suck as a photographer.

With three days and 75 miles remaining to attain my goal of riding 150 miles for the month, I am forced to readdress my goal. I shall now attempt to at least beat last months total of 106 miles. Hopefully, the rain will have ended tonight so I can ride a few miles.
