As we approach that period of the year where it seems to rain more often than not, and i start to listen to too much English music like Radiohead, The Verve, and The Cure (my how the English love to put 'the' in their band names) i realized something. i don't consider rainy days to be 'inclement weather'. Maybe it's because we spend so much time indoors now that it doesn't largely impact us, or maybe because compared to winter's snowstorms rain is just a minor inconvenience. After all, when was the last time rain caused you to not be able to get somewhere?
Sure sporting events may be canceled but unless you're a witch getting a little wet shouldn't kill you. The rain is not the tough part, it's the day after day of no sunlight that gets to you. All those gray days start to help you realize how all that English music ends up the way it does.
The real kicker is not being able to ride the Vespa. Rain drops at 50+ mph are not the most comfortable thing in the world. It's like little needles without the benefit of a styling tattoo at the end.
