A dent in training

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I was unable to complete my commuting circuit.

"Why not?", you ask.

I'd say a foot of hail and four feet of water at almost every intersection would warrant calling a friend for a ride! My lawn is eternally grateful. My cycling spirits are not. The silver lining is that I now must plan for such a contingency if I am to encounter the wrath of Mother Nature like this while out in the middle of the Texas panhandle.

What's weird is this is an AP story, yet I cannot find any significant local coverage on the web. Hmph.
