Parched...quenched

Clouds rolled overhead, not merely promising to the dusty roads and
depressed greenery; delivering excessive moisture to my true Seattle soul.
These rains would make even a January day in the evergreen state blush at
its amateur attempt at soaking. Toledo rains mean business. Twenty seconds
in a meaningful shower mimics a full plunge in the expanding river.

Welcome back rainy season, you have been missed. Dry season, that short,
hot respite from rain forest feeding precipitation, on its way out. Crisp,
clear air rises above the steaming jungle. Back home the rains are ending
while I prepare myself. Clear the cobwebs from the boots, waterproof the
jacket and get some fenders for the bike. I'm reading, bring it on.
