Cloudy with Occasional Falling White Stuff

All things considered, I do have to say that I'm glad it isn't snowing this week.

Lots of rain with day and night being delineated by variations in the grey here in downtown Seattle. It's not exactly great riding weather. I'm out there anyway though because it's better than driving the truck through that stupid white stuff that freaks everybody out.

Hint about the riding thing. I'm from Upstate New York (more or less) and there's a lot of snow there and I'm not terribly frightened by it.

But not even somebody as certifiably stupid as I appear to be should be trying to ride a motorcycle westbound down Columbian Way to Spokane Street when it's been snowing.

This guy(Courtesy: Trujillo/Seattle Times) seems to have the right idea. Knobby tires, low horsepower, light weight, and low center of gravity. All equaling way big hoopty fun, I'd say.
