Rain is a necessary evil. We need it to keep our crops alive, our thirst quenched, and our Earth...wet. The rain isn't really that bad, as long as you can stay dry. If you're smart, you're prepared with an umbrella and things end up okay. If you're dumb, like me, you push your luck and journey out and try to spite Mother Nature. She then sees you and says, "Eat this." Torrential rains begin 5 minutes after you start walking outside, and you start running for cover as she laughs at your misfortune.
It's not over yet. Getting rained on has a longer effect than most random bads. For the next hour, you're stuck in wet clothes, wet shoes, and wet socks. Your body is drenched and you look like a fool. Usually, you're a good distance from home base, so you deal with it for a while. You get home, and it's a bitch to remove the wet clothes from your person, you have to take a shower, and it just ends up taking a long amount of time in your day.
What's the lesson? Bring an umbrella, idiot.
That's ok, just keep it off my beach in SoCal unless it's volley ball season
