Should have looked at the weather report

It was Mom's last night here in Provo, so we stayed up late to visit with her. It sure has been good to have Mom down here for these few days. She and I took a drive in their newly purchased car and then the three of us had some ice cream sandwiches before calling it a night.

During the night, Aliece threw up and so Amber and I were up helping her and cleaning up the mess.

Needless to say, I was pretty tired this morning. I got up late, but in time to say goodbye to Mom. Then I showered, ate, and headed off to work on my motorcycle. As I rode to work I noticed how dark and brown it way outside. In my tired state, though, I just thought it was all of the smoke from Utah's largest fire in the state's history located just 90 miles south of here.

By the time I was half way to work I started to feel a rain drop or two. It escalated and by the time I got to work I was quite a site to see. I shot this picture from my office window to try to give you an idea of what it looked like outside.

The rain has come and gone already, I must have caught the brunt of it while I was out there. It has been an hour or so and I am about dry and almost descent looking again. Next time I think I'll slap myself a couple of times to wake up before I blinding select my mode of transportation.
