Saturday in the Rain

Standing on our porch, you can just sense the rain coming. You feel it. A slight change in the temperature and the humidity, followed by gusting winds. Then the clouds open up and buckets of rain come down. It happens fast enough that many people get caught out, so they find the nearest shelter and hunker down for a bit.

We are, thankfully, comfortable in our mostly water-proof house right now, as we are in mid-downpour.

I love the rainy season.

Other ways to cope with the rain when you absolutely, positively have to go out:

1. Share a poncho with your buddy. Warning, this may impede ability to see;
2. Drive your motorbike one-handed, second hand firmly gripping Beer Lao umbrella.
