Winter Is Here, And Boy Did it Rain

Mid afternoon, we got caught in the rain. It had rained for most of the day, and we probably shouldn't have risked it, but what is the worst that can happen? 

And the rain poured down, the gutters in the streets were raging rivers to be crossed. What is the term, fording, in some places. The gutters full of autumn leaves made me want to grab sticks and poke at the drains.

We took shelter twice in doorways. People scuttled past with umbrellas. Everyone looked damp. During a couple of lulls we had to make a run for it, with varying degrees of success. We were kind of wet by the time we made it back, running between the rain drops, as if that is even possible.

It poured even more after we got home.

I made a fire.

Sam went back to work.

I imagine there was flooding in some parts of town, the rain was so hard. We'll hear all about it when the misery hour news comes on later.
