Just remember what ol’ Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right in the eye and says, “Give me your best shot. I can take it.”

I love that quote. I love that movie. Whenever it’s raining like it was this morning, I can’t help but think about good ol’ Jack Burton and his shaking pillars of Heaven.

Also, I can’t help but wonder how many other people are out braving the weather to get themselves to work on pedal power.

I saw half a dozen yesterday morning, and more yesterday evening. I saw none this morning.

What I did see, and what I’ve seen every morning for the last couple of weeks, is a parking lot on I435 eastbound. The construction at I69 backs up traffic all the way to the Lamar overpass. I smile a little inside (and outside, truth be told) every time I go over that bridge. It must suck to be parked on 435 every day…
