Seriously. I was about 32 seconds into my walk home when the skies opened up and Mother Nature proceeded to spit all over me. I could have used a much less friendly verb right now, but I didn’t… because I like you.
So, yeah. It rained. A lot. After another 47 seconds my glasses were completely useless. When will science develop automatic eye-glass wipers, when?!?!
So, there I was half-blind and sopping wet; Mother Nature’s whipping girl. Hey, I’m not the one driving a hummer and clubbing baby seals. I walk to work. I reduce, I reuse, I recycle. Ok, I’m not so good with the reducing. But I’m working on it! I swear!
I got so soaked that I had to change all of my clothes, even my underwear and socks. The upside, however, is that I was able to switch my pants for a pair with a drawstring for when we go out tonight. All you can eat, all you can drink at Redbones. Oh yes. I shall overindulge myself like the good American that I am.
If I don’t eat and drink myself into a stupor tonight, the terrorists have won.
See…Mother Nature LIKES it when people drive Hummers, throw plastic in the garbage, and club baby seals. Mother Nature sees that as a challenge and you were punished for not challenging Mother Nature. Heh…I’m just kidding of course…why did I capitalize “Mother Nature”?
I knew it! If only I hadn’t recycled so much! My socks would still be dry!!! (actually, I think that they’ve dried out by now).
Rain is supposed to be good for our complexion, but that might have been before the time when we started filling it with pollutants.
