An exchange of Golden Age dialogue to represent my mood at the moment:

"It's raining!" Tumnus says, sounding overjoyed.

"It's raining," Peter agrees, sounding considerably less so.

"I have never seen this much water at any one time in my life," Edmund says. "Not counting the ocean."

"Is that thunder?" Susan says.

Lucy beams. "I hope there's lightning."

I have never. Seen so much. Water fall from the sky. AT ANY TIME IN MY LIFE.

That includes when Tropical Storm Fay hit. I am on my third pair of jeans and my second pair of shoes of THE DAY.

Get some rain gear! Poncho, if not boots.

Well, I had an umbrella. THEN IT GOT SOAKED THROUGH.

You know it's a bad sign when your umbrella is leaking water.

Rainboots are, uh, one of those things I should have and have not yet bought. Flipflops and rainboots: the only two kinds of footwear you need in New Orleans!

Umbrellas do little good here, says the Floridian...the wind just blows the rain sideways and you get soaked from foot to neck. But rainboots and a poncho are a good idea-plus a bag to put them in when you go inside, so you don't drip all over the place. :)

I have never seen handheld umbrellas as large as I have seen them on the Tulane campus. They are big enough to shield a family of four. And they are being used for one person.
