ride to live, live to ride

Yesterday coming home from work it started to rain. I passed this poor feller getting soaked and grabed my camera and got a shot of him. Actually maybe he's enjoying it. I've been caught with my top off the wrangler and the rain came and I totally enjoyed it. :)

I don't have a cool bike like his, but I cycle most of the time here and sometimes, it just feels nice to be drenched by the rain - provided you have no where important to go!!

Hi dear,
I've just noticed your blogtitle: Horse Rotorvator. Since I am from Germany, this comment may come due to my ignorance of english idioms: One of my favoured bands ("Coil") released an album named "Horse Rotorvator" in the 80s. Since this band is rather unknown, I was wondering if you refer to the, at all, or if "Horse Rotorvator" has a special meaning to an english-languanged person?

Both my son and my oldest daughter each have a Jeep Wrangler; they love their rides. As for your photo, I can only tip my hat to you -- you get the coolest captures. This one is fantastic!

@Viewfinder: Thanks!! I'd like to meet one person that has a Wrangler and doesn't like it. :)

Haha I used to have a scooter when I was younger, and it was riding in weather like this that made me decide to only EVER have a bike again if I can have a car as well.....;-) nice shot!
