Battling the Elements

The rain these past three days wreaked havoc: from flooded basements, 40 mph wind gusts, twisted umbrellas, to the drenched people darting for shelter as they tried their best to avoid the rain. Yesterday was a day of battling the elements. I don’t mind being out and about in bad weather, but there’s nothing like trying to weather high winds combined with torrential downpours. At one point I felt like the wind was going to sweep me away like Auntie Em in the Wizard of Oz. For a moment I thought to myself, “She’s gone to the heavens,” no such luck, my umbrella turned inside out while I still maintained my balance, firmly grounded in the nasty wind. I don’t want to make a habit of battling the elements, unless I am training for a mountain adventure. Frankly, I’d much rather be out on a day like today – a sunny calm 50 degrees!
