I notice that I am becoming largely weather-independent in nearly everything I do in my daily life. I am guessing that this is true for many people, at least those living in developed countries and working outside of agriculture, air transportation, etc. Civilization enables us to keep our routines regardless of weather changes, but deep down, there is some evolutionary awareness and emotional connection to the natural phenomena in all their forms.
On a day like today, it takes a conscious consideration of the possibility of being caught in the rain when deciding to take a ride across town. Continuing with my exercise of documenting my short rides, I made my way to the highly recommended Habit Cafe in the downtown – my incentive to sticking with this personal project. On the way, I stopped at a lookout point to admire clouds over the ocean.
