Weather Gear

Hardly any one of us own raincoats or umbrellas. So when the rain comes, we go into shock. We don’t like to get wet either, so we make use of what we have around to keep us from the rain.

A thick section of an old Sunday paper is good to hold over your head when you’re caught in a sudden shower without rain gear.

A clean plastic trash bag is also useful. Slit openings at the seams for your head and arms, and you’re ready to go.

A beach hat or baseball cap also suffices.

Better yet, you can put on your bathing suit and run crazy down a sandy beach. The raindrops are pretty warm.

This advice is only good if the rain is dropping vertically. If the drops are coming to you diagonally, stay indoors. That means a heavy storm is coming.
