Rain

I just had some really good thunderstorm luck. I went grocery shopping even though the sky looked like it was going to fall. I made it into the store, through all of my shopping, and back out to the car before it rained. I loaded up the car, put the cart away, and got in the car and at the exact moment I closed the door the first rain drop hit my windshield. Perfect timing.

As I drove home, the rain was so heavy I really couldn’t see. It sucked. I made it home in one piece though and I sat in the driveway for a few minutes waiting for the rain to calm down. Magically, it stopped all together! Nice! I needed three trips from the car to the kitchen and back and it wasn’t until I was on the third trip that the rain started again. I was only in it for a couple of seconds. A small price to pay given the risks involved. I’ll take it.

Suck it, thunderstorm. Of course it’s down pouring again now, but that’s okay. I’m in for the rest of the day.

Earlier today we drove to Boston for a few minutes. Enjoy the obligatory stuck-in-traffic-getting-on-to-Storrow-Drive-looking-at-the-Zakim-bridge pics.

The Storrowings will continue until Storrow Drive is turned back into the park it was meant to be!

The ghosts of James and Helen Storrow will continue to take their vehicular sacrifices. James led the campaign to preserve the riverbank as a park and Helen opposed the road (proposed after his death)

We pause our normal discussions to bring drivers this important service message: Storrow Drive in #Boston is only for cars. Not trucks. The low overpasses will rip the top right off of your moving vans. Locals call this the #Storrowing
