phew!

another  near death experience, but this time, siggimus had the good sense of giving up

not embarrassed to confess he gave up after bicycling two-thirds of the way home

siggimus would be extremely ashamed if it had only been a bit of wind

siggimus would be extremelier ashameder if it had only been a bit of rain

.

but pouring rain plus 17 metres per second wind (with gusts of 25 metres per second) plus bursts of hail …

siggimus sees no shame in surrendering to the elements when they turn the knob to 11
