    Yay Mimi! That's what we do around here. Remember that day about five years ago when we had 5 inches of rain? Chris did his 34-mile round trip commute that day. He was very pleased with himself.

    Hard to live here if you don't do stuff in the rain.

    update:

    It is pouring outside. If this keeps up there will be flooding.
    However, it didnt start raining hard until after i got home

    I was presented with a light misting rain all the way home.

    Raleighdon, on the other hand... is going to really get wet!

    I went out running and got soaked

    After my initial fear of water, it was really fun. The cyclists and runners I saw (one of each) were happy. The pedestrians looked miserable and the drivers looked impatient. I saw a robin eating worms, a nun in full nun-gear (I thought they were plain clothes now?), a parking enforcement officer, and a LOT of City Light workers repairing damaged electrical lines. I said hi to all of them, including the robin.

    It's funny, if I am traveling from my car to a building I get annoyed if I get wet. I chose to go out and get drenched and it was highly enjoyable. For the cyclists though, ick. I can run in it but I don't enjoy being on my bike in the rain.
