Pine, I too try to watch the weather when I make my decision. Shooting around town is not too bad, I can just wait it out wherever I happen to be. My situation is a little different, I ride my bike to make visits, go to the hospital, and so forth. Showing up at the hospital soaking wet would not be very professional or pastoral (like I ever really am). I keep telling myself that whatever the % is, it is probably going to rain somewhere, maybe where I am, maybe not. Justin's radar is a good bet, our cable has a local radar loop as well.
I am more concerned about going than I am about coming back. If I get rained on coming home, I just take a shower and put on dry clothes. My kids think it is hilarious when I get wet, I have been wet before, will be again, and always dry out. Oh well, at least they get a good laugh.
I don't really have rain gear, just dump the water out of my boots and put them in front of the fridge (let the warm air from the compressor blow in them, that is THE best shoe dryer
). I doubt any of that helps, but you asked.
And yeah, I missed Kwelyn when she left, not digging Dantaue so much.
