Natural Shower

Ahh, another Friday. What are you doing outdoors this weekend? I'm not sure yet how the weekend will go for me, as I continue to dodge thunderstorms here on the plains. No, it's not like I'm a nomad following bison or something, but every now and then the weather interferes with my perfectly laid plans.

Like yesterday, walking out of the office, I was pelted with rain drops. I splashed through the puddles with my leather flip flops and slipped precariously off my heels several times. When I finally made it to my car, I began to enjoy the cool water dribbling down my face, and the image of myself dancing in the rain was so appealing. If I were a commuting cyclist, I would have had no choice but to soak in the smells and sensations of heavy rain while "driving" home from work. Instead, I found myself lined in traffic, waiting for electric lights to turn, rolling slowly through deep, muddy puddles I couldn't feel.

I had to forgo the outdoor concert I was planning to attend on account of the rain, but it was refreshing to have at least gotten wet from something other than a shower head.
