Day 38- dry, and then there was rain.

Today I biked to Costco via the US Post Office and back.

The temperatures were in the mid 50's and winds were light as I pedaled out just after 10 AM.  The late start was due in part to the time necessary to determine whether I needed a new laptop or not.
It was a nice ride out.  My mapping program sent me along Seattle's waterfront as I pedaled south.

I made a stop at the Post Office on S 4th to drop a small gift in the mail.  I also stopped for a quick bite to eat. I rode the remaining short distance to Costco where I checked on the details of a recent purchase, and picked out a new laptop.

I loaded it into my pannier and stepped outside, to see that the warm dry weather of my ride to Costco, would be replaced by a warm wet ride back to Queen Anne.  At least I'd have a tail wind.
2 hours after I took the first photos, I took this one from the same location.

While it was raining, I had my rain coat along, and it was warm.  I decided to take the longer way back.  Rather than steep busy streets with wet slick pavement, I decided that multi-use paths and less steep sleepy residential streets with slick pavement would be worth the 7 extra miles.  I traveled from the south side of Queen Anne around the west side to the north side and climbed up via the Kralik Way.
