Good to see youse west-siders last night. My ride home sure started to be UN-enjoyable. The high wind was endurable but then I got to the rain just East of I 17. Made it to RT 51 and traffic was not passing me and I was down to 30MPH. Couldn't see anything but the white line andd tail lights in front of me. Mahnged to get off at Bell Rd. and limped into an AM PM. Fortunately, they were not at all busy so I holed up under their canopy for about 90 minutes. The rain didn't last that long, but with no wipers, I wanted to wait until the road spray would be minimal. I did attempt to leave after the first 45 minutes and no sooner left shelter and it rained again.(of course). Finally, the ride home was actually pretty pleasant. Pavement was totally dry, my windshield kept clean and I had a leisurly, enjoyable drive home. The border station into God's Country was closed so I didn't even have to show "my papers".
