Rain, Rain, Rain
...not to be confused with the Roxy Music song of the same name. (Any Roxy fans out there?)
We've been getting buckets of the stuff today, starting around 4 pm when a huge, dark, glowering cloud rolled in from the west and blotted out the sun. Pretty soon people were lamenting about parking their cars in the underground garage and missing out on a free car wash.
Tonight I decided I wanted a gyro for dinner and walked to get one, and then to the coffee shop to read for a while (having already put in my hour writing my perl baseball programs for the evening). I was only drizzling when I left, but the buckets were back by the time I got to State Street. Just big sheets of water hitting the ground, and washing down the sidewalk. I was pretty damp by the time I settled in to read, and was drenched by the time I got home. Which was kind of fun (I like rain a lot), but I wish I'd worn my docksiders rather than my sneakers.
Fortunately, nothing in my backpack got wet, which is good since I had a couple of hardcovers in there!
Aaaargh.
