It's been raining almost all day. It's raining hard now. On the walk home from the bus, there's a stretch of sidewalk with a steep grassy slope on one side; in rain like this, it floods and muds. At one point my feet started skidding, three inches of water covering slippery mud; I splashed water halfway up my pants, but managed to make it to solid (heh) ground, on the grass on the other side. That stretch of grass would have been halfway decent walking, except for the trees planted every fifteen feet or so. I finally moved out into the street - traffic was light and I was heading in the right direction.

And so I made it home. My pants are soaked, and I'm thinking about making cocoa. And so to bed...
