Today’s Transport –
Single-occupant: 14.7
For some reason it seemed as if the weather guessers were going to be correct today. I drove and I don’t regret it.

A couple days ago I heard crying in my front yard. I was pretty sure I knew who it was. I was equally sure she’d go two doors down to her home for the necessary attention. She’d likely fallen off her bike.
A few minutes later I heard crying again. There she was in our driveway. I remained confused, why hadn’t she gone home. I began quizzing her…
The chain on her bike had fallen off.
She didn’t know if she was hurt - maybe a little on her leg.
When her chain fell off, she fell off.
She didn’t know if she was bleeding - maybe a little on her leg.
I was just about exasperated when it occurred to me…
She’s here crying so that I’ll come out and fix her bike.
So I fixed her bike.
She stopped crying.
Priorities.

Haha, that is priceless. I got caught in the rain some on the way into work today myself. I'm wising up a little for the walk home and borrowing an umbrella from work.
