One pair of gloves from home to bus stop, then second pair of dry gloves for bus stop to work. Hoping that they will be dry for the trip home.Rain for this month will reach 7in, close to double normal.

101. Rough Road
It's been about 10 years since the freeway has been resurfaced, so with a rough ride this morning, I thought maybe I-5 was due for a makeover. Then a thud and smooth sailing, leading me to conclude that the flopping flat tire had just self-ejected. Sure enough the bus pulled over and the driver announced that we had a flat tire.
Soon another passing bus (different beginning route but with same destination) stopped in front, I thought wow, a quick transfer and we'll be on our way. But nope, the apparently policy is that a new, empty bus has to be summoned, with the apparent thinking that just 20 minutes from their destination, riders would rather wait an extra 30 minutes for an empty bus to be summoned, than stand for the remaining 20 minutes on an immediately available but almost full bus.
Not me. But with the bus having pulled over on the left, I had no options
