nightmarish downpour

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.06.13

I managed to get completely soaked in a titanic thunderstorm on my cycle commute this afternoon. I mean, shoes full of water - and at one point, pedals-deep in backed-up sewage - soaked. One of the worst downpours I can recall in Canada (which as a rule has nothing on places like Mexico and Florida and the Tropics in general when it comes to rain).
