This evening when I left work ten minutes later than I’d planned to to try and catch a movie across town, it was raining so hard that, having left the apartment this morning completely unprepared for rain, I was forced to modify a planned one mile walk/one-bus trip into a one block walk/three-bus trip, and given the fact that it was maybe still rush hour, and given the fact that it was pouring (with thunder and lightning), and also given the fact that one transfer was pushing my luck and two transfers was madness, it was no small miracle when I arrived at the theater three buses later and five minutes early and entirely dry.
