One of my random past times commuting is counting the days before/after the equinox, multiplying by two and dividing by seven. We are now out of the darkest six weeks of the year!
Trying to avoid flooding everywhere on the ride, especially home as the rivers continued to rise. I had the inner thrill of taking a wheels-dry route through the (aptly named) Willowbook Mall to get to dry roads. Cars couldn't do that because much of the mall was flooded. I powered through many mostly empty parking lots, but my secret path was a sidewalk behind a movie theater where the road was full of river water but the sidewalk was dry.
