Cold gets into your bones
As you may have gathered from my earlier entry, I got to walk to my one class this morning in the middle of a cold downpour. I arrived to class dripping wet and continued to drip for the first part of the lecture. Of course, I had to shed my nice, warm coat because the surface of it doesn't soak up water. Thus it was drippy.
I take my notes on my laptop. I do not need to be dripping on the keyboard while I type.
Our campus does not seem to have been adequately designed for rainfall, so various sidewalks and streets are prone to flooding when it rains. Streets, not so much, but the sidewalk I use to get from the Union to the dining hall always ends up a couple of inches deep and stays that way for several hours.
And I always forget it does that until I'm in the middle of it.
I did not feel warm again today until I got off work, got back to my dorm, and was able to take my socks off. Brrrr.
Alas, this also means that I did not get over to the mailing supply place and investigate boxes for shipping Jetfire in. I should probably do that, but the large part of me just wants to go "bleh" and do it tomorrow when it's hopefully sunnier.
The most annoying part about mailing things is finding boxes.

I remember when the remains of Ivan slammed through Pennsylvania and flooded everything. The streets here are designed to properly direct water, but with that much downpour, it just started building up after awhile. :-( Being a pedestrian really sucks when everybody driving by hits you with a cascade of water.

And Becky gets pretty much the same weather I do.
