Rain, you are a nuturer of flora and fauna, rejuvenator of the withered, giver of respite during summer's heat, bane of my existance! How can you also bring headache, tension, and angst to those of us, who commute? Why this seeming opposition of roles?
Don't get me wrong. I love a nice, warm summer rain for company as I run. Heck, even a cool or cold rain can help wash the sweat off during a long, fast run. It is when it rains during my commute that I take issue. Yet, even that does not ring wholly true for it isn't the rain that is the problem. It is the people driving in the rain that are the actual culprates.
It is definitely not just people slowing down that causes the problem. In fact, it is just the opposite. The drivers are not slowing down. They are traveling at the normal speed that they would be on dry pavement. At least until they are forced to slow down. Why would they be forced to slow down?
It is enevitable that someone along the way is going to slam into the back of someone else and there begins the slow down. A long, slow, tortuoous commute brought on by unthinking, inconsiderate people. If they would slowdown ever so slightly, we might all make it home in one piece and at a half-way decent time.
