How to Stay Dry When Walking Home in the Rain

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:11:27 -0500

Some rules based on my observations over the past four years.

1. Always carry an umbrella or jacket with a hood

Even if I don’t think it’s going to rain, there is always an umbrella in my backpack. I use a jacket in the winter because it’s warmer.

2. Wear the right shoes

Walking in wet socks is miserable. Boots work best, but I usually forget when rushing out the door in the morning.

3. Plan your path

Streets are designed so that water drains off to the side, so if I have to walk in the street, I walk in the middle. As far as I can tell, intersections all have puddles, so my strategy is to step in as little water as possible. (Unless I have boots. See #2)

4. Don’t walk home in the rain!

Find a place to wait it out. If I’m coming from school, I’ll talk with friends until the rain clears.

Hope this helps.

I use a program called Coda to design websites. It’s the first piece of software I bought for myself, and probably the best investment I have ever made.

This how I usually work. It’s incredible how productive it is to never have to leave the program.

As I was looking through themes, I discovered that my friend Wen’s theme was being featured. Needless to say, I’m impressed.

My personal photos go on Facebook, my favorite photos go on Flickr, and my news photos go on Silver Chips. Or at least, that’s how I think of it. There’s a lot of overlap, and a lot that don’t get posted.

Animal Collective - Fickle Cycle

Believe in ghosts and set them free
Bury your heart, don’t shake that sheet
Give your teeth to the crocodile cave
Under my wings and on my head

Reminds me of halloween.
