Thanks Dad for keeping me dry

I’m loving the weather in Phoenix over the last few days. Cold was on tap for most of the weekend, however today there was the addition of a steady drizzle which kept the streets along the lightrail pretty wet. I’m so ready for this change after spending my first summer living carfree in the intense heat – temperatures here can easily reach 120 degrees from May through August. The high today in Phoenix was 57 degrees – which I realize is no where near the lows that people in Portland or New York or even Chicago experience. As it turns out, our extremes are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Anyway, in an effort to keep warm, I need to check on some cold weather gloves that will also work well for bike riding. As for overall protection from the rain – I remembered this morning that my dad’s trench coat is tucked away in the back of the closet. My dad, a fellow railfan, passed away about three years ago and is the inspiration behind this blog.
This was the first time wearing dad’s coat …it was a perfect fit.
