    What? No umbrellas? Remember when we used to walk 5 miles to school, uphill both ways, in a snowstorm, with no shoes?

    Lamest excuse ever. But Sarah, you look might fine in a Hefty bag

    Thanks! It was really more of a skirt at that point. (And V took the picture.)

    Back in the days when I was "crazy". That was the night time portion of a 400 K. I hooked up with MP halfway through to keep her company.

    I sported the same trashy look myself on the Knoxville Double.

    Well I wouldn't want to walk 10 minutes in the rain without an umbrella and then sit around in wet clothes.

    But you don't exactly live in an area that never gets any rain. So unless they have real financial issues, it's reasonable to expect parents to either have rain gear for their kids or have a way to get them to school when it rains.

    They have coats. We woke their mom up - she doesn't work - when we called at 9AM.

    Did you tell her that's what hoods were for?

    Jeeze! Here in Portland, no one uses umbrellas (except tourists) and it rains most of the year.
