drowned rat

I went walking today with Betsy. When I arrived at her house it was bright and sunny. When I left I was soaked to the skin.

Since the weather was iffy we decided to do small laps. I told Besty not to slow down. I did okay keeping up on the first lap. The second I was lagging  a bit behind. On the third laps, she slowed down. I still had trouble keeping up with her.

On the third lap it started to get darker and cloudier, with the very finest drizzle. When we reached Winchester I thought we were heading back to her house, but we turned. The drizzle became light rain.

"How far are we from your house?"

"About as fa away as we can be on this route."

"I think it's going to rain."

"Me too."

A block later, downpour.

We were soaked by the time we got back to her place we were drenched. I hopped into the car, she went to take a shower. By the time I reach Springhouse road, it was a drizzle. By Ceder Crest it stopped.

I stopped at Dicks sporting goods to look for a counter for the Relay for Life. They had nothing. Then I walked to Walmart. When I came out, I got soaked, again.

By the time I got home the rain had reached my house. I came in and put on dry clothes.
