    Not a good day.  It was POURING down rain all day.  I figured I'd make the best of a slight break in the morning so I changed a front flat on my wet weather commuter and headed off in the morning.  The rear went flat within twenty minutes and I didn't find the piece of glass so the replacement went flat as well so I had to walk my bike home.  I changed it there and headed down to work.  Around lunchtime, I headed off to REI to get new tires and, in a last "screw you" from the tires, I had a front flat and had to walk it to REI in the pouring rain from 7th and Market.  There's some new guy at the bike shop at REI named Noel and he's a cross between surly and hostile.  He needs to tighten his shit up before I start complaining about him.  One of the things I like about the bike shop at REI is that REI has a corporate structure so that you can acually complain and it will go somewhere.  The new tires are a huge improvement in not getting four flats a day and I headed back to work and then back home up market at the end of the day.
