nightmarish downpour

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a 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).

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
