Now that I have a "rain plan", my default behavior in an overcast or drizzly situation is to pack a jacket and go. Last year, whenever it seemed like it could possibly rain, I erred on the side of caution and took the bus or walked.
So how many times have I actually been caught in the rain so far in September?
Twice.
(Not counting the one time it was already raining when I left the apartment.)
Many days, the rain has happened when I'm inside: at work, in a coffee shop with a friend, in the mall. By the time I'm ready to go, the sky isn't falling anymore.
If I'd avoided riding on all those overcast days (and yes, there have been a lot of them in September so far), I might as well be a shut-in. Or buy a bus pass.
The west coast certainly has a reputation for being rainy, but it's more that it could rain at any time, not that it does.
Besides, isn't the world just so beautiful when decorated with water?
