I realize I
've talked about weather a lot lately, but that's a big part of living in Michigan, and I have even more to add. Yep, we had another near 60 degree day, though not nearly as beautiful as yesterday since it's been raining all day. We're actually under a flood warning and I'm not surprised. As I was walking back from class today, I was juggling my umbrella and bag while trying to keep my pants off the ground so they wouldn't get wet, when I got splashed, not once, but twice by drive-bys! Now, when I'm driving and it's raining, I tend to drive around the giant puddles on the side of the road if I can help it. Apparently not all the mean Ann Arbor drivers feel the same way! The first time it happened, I was waiting to cross a street and standing a safe distance back, or so I thought, when this van came flying by and nearly got my in the face! The rest of me wasn't so lucky and my efforts to pull my pants off the gro
und were totally ruined. The second splash came a few hundred feet from my apartment as I walked on the sidewalk. It wasn't as big a splash, but it came from behind me so I never saw it coming! Now, I was soaking on both sides. At that point, all I could do was shake my head and laugh at my wonderful luck. I might as well have been sitting front row at a Shamu show! Oh, and one last final tidbit, did I mention that even though it reached 60 degrees today, we're expecting snow tonight? Yeah, wonderful...
