Yesterday it was raining so hard that I didn't want to leave the house. I did stuff at home, didn't go to work at all.
Today it's raining again, not quite as hard, so I figured I better just deal with it. All the rain gear except the waterproof pants, they make riding too unpleasant. Plastic bags over my shoes.
Got to the station as the train was pulling in. The doors closed as I ran for the train. I was standing by the door when it started moving, but at that momenT the conductor saw me, and actually stopped the train and opened the door for me. Wow. I've never had that happen before.
I'm kinda wet, but at least I'm on the train.
