I think I may have felt a few raindrops leaving Target, but maybe not. Shortly after I left the parking lot, it began raining. I noticed when I woke up from my hard and long nap/sleep that it had rained, and apparently it was going to rain again. But it got harder and harder, and by the time I got to Cub, it was a deluge.
I didn't want to get out, but I didn't have a whole lot of time because ***e* and ******e were coming by at 9:30. (They eventually got here a bit past 10; they were at the casino [shrug].) So I decided to give it till about 9 o'clock; if it were still raining then, I'll take out the umbrella, grab the plastic bags I want to recycle at Cub, and make a dash for it.
The raindrops got harder and much more numerous. It was a squall outside my car, no doubt. But I could breathe in my car because my car was protecting me. I was totally dry, while every other poor sucker in the bubble outside my vehicle was getting soaked to the bone. And to think I got into this cocoon just before it rained (I think) and that, hopefully, I'll be able to walk outside in dryness after the rain.
The rain quieted. I saw a rainbow out in the distance. It got worse again. But I think at around 8:59, the rain slowed down big time. Yep, it's one of those summer showers that came and went. And I opened the car door and felt not a drop fall from the sky. I walked sans umbrella in to Cub to get my delivery. Did the same at the gas station. And once I got home, I grabbed everything I could and walked at my own pace to the front door because I was extremely fortunate and completely dodged the rain.
