This was yesterday, I had to go pick something up, I know I could have gotten a ride but decided to take my electric scooter. It's about 13 miles so it's a decent trek. But I like crusing around, well about a block away it started to rain, I never check the weather because it barely ever rains here. I grab the shit and as I'm about to head back, it starts to hail. And it starts to pour. The way back there's a bridge with no bike lane, it's pretty narrow and the cars are driving like it's fucking completly dry. It's hailing, pouring, thunder and lightening and cars are zipping by me. I had my lights on, but it's an electric scooter and cars don't even see other cars all the time so I thought for sure an accident would happen. About a mile later a strap on my favorite backpack ripped. I was just sitting waiting for a green light, so I had to ride about 11 miles with the hopes the other strap would hold up.
Riding in hail fuckin sucks. Thankfully, I had my helmet on. And the cherry on top of my shit shake I went to 7-11 right now to get their 2 slices of pizza and a Pepsi product for $4.99 and it's no longer :| It was bad enough when they switched the deal from Coke to Pepsi products. And now it would be like $7.50. Not much more, but $4.99 sounds a lot better, and it's not really good enough pizza to pay full price.
