Caught in the Rain

Having lived in Wenatchee for the last few years, I guess I kind of forgot what rain was like in the Midwest. I forgot that just because it's fairly clear in the morning doesn't mean that you shouldn't take an umbrella with you.

Welcome to Chicago, campus for the school of hard knocks, where lessons are learned the hard way or aren't learned at all.

Long story short, I got soaked in a matter of blocks and hailed a cab to get back to the train station. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to bring along some sort of rain-stopping device. Even when I was prepared last week, the umbrella didn't seem to do too well with the wind blowing off the lake, so I'm thinking some sort of coat or sweatshirt is probably the way to go.
