Seeing Through Raindrops
I am so lucky!
Over the course of my entire life I have never owned an umbrella. How crazy is that?
I never wear hats. They mess with my electromagnetic field. Plus I just can’t stand anything atop my noggin. How weird is that?
I love flip-flops. You don’t have to sit down and bend over in order to put them on or take them off. I think they are one of humankind’s greatest inventions. They are the closest thing to being barefoot without worrying what you’re going to step in.
I went for a walk this morning. I had barely left my home when it started raining. It was not long at all before my feet were sopping wet.
And so was my noggin. Because I don’t own an umbrella and because I don’t wear hats, my glasses were soon covered with raindrops.
And I did not care.
It would have been foolish to wipe the glasses clean for they would only have been covered with raindrops again within seconds. I could still see well enough to avoid walking into a tree or streetlamp. I could still look both ways before crossing a street and see well enough to avoid being flattened by a UPS truck.
I was going to take a shower when I got home anyway so I did not mind getting sopping wet. It felt good.
