I'm sure my one or two readers are wondering why two almost completely unrelated items make up the title.
Well, tonight the rain came early, so I was caught about 5 miles from home in steadily worsening rain. Fortunately, we've had a bunch of rain lately, so it wasn't very slick. Fortunate-because my rear tire is worn down along the center from all the commuting and freeway miles I do. So this weekend I am pulling the rear wheel and having the rear tire that showed up today (and got rained on, how ironic!) put on. Last rear tire change for Miss Swail, too.
