Beating The Rain

Baruch Hashem, there has been some rain, though this morning was bright and clear. One never knows how long the sky will stay like that. There wasn't a new batch of laundry, but I had to finally pay that shiva call*. I was going to cook for Shabbat and then go down, but... I can cook in the rain, since I cook out not in, but the kilometer's walk each way to my neighbor was best done in the sun.

So I went down and it was perfect walking weather. I spent quite a while there. When I walked out, I discovered that it had been drizzling. I made it as far as the roofed "waiting" place near the stores. After a few minutes, a neighbor came by and took me home.

* When I wrote the post, I neglected to leave out a minor detail, that it was a bit late, and the neighbor had gone to sleep already.

Then I cooked.
