It was coming down sideways

Twenty minutes before the end of my workday, the skies opened up and it poured buckets.  Curses!  It's going to be a long walk to the train station.  But it's OK, I reassured myself, I have an umbrella and a jacket in my backpack--I always carry them.

So as I packed up for the evening, changing my shoes to sneakers a la Mr. Rogers, I reached for my jacket.  Whoops, not there.  No matter, my umbrella is in here, just a little lower, just.. need.. to... find it... what the?  No umbrella either.  Yeah.  Not a good day to have been absent-minded in the morning.

It really WAS a long walk to the train station.  Oh well.  It was refreshing, yeah, that's it.  And I haven't been made of sugar for quite some time, so I didn't melt.

And on the way home, I watched a really bright double rainbow.
