Well not a real deluge, but for a Finn the weather yesterday in New Jersey was shall we say wet on account of Jeanne dumping last of her rain on us. I stayed in the library as long as possible hoping that rain would stop but of course it didn't. I did have my umbarella, but it was very little use, I was basically soaking wet when I got home, the rain was warm though, which was very eerie and tropical. I was terribly worried about the computer, but even though the rest of the backpack needed to be stuffed by newspapers to dry out, my toy was OK. Shoes, however were so wet they still are a bit moist and defenitely stinky. I wonder what would happen if I threw them into the dryer... just kidding.
We were discussing about this last Monday when we (that's us Tähtivaeltaja-people from our meeting) went to the Espoo sf-mafia. It was raining and most of us got pretty wet (I had an umbrella, so I was dry and Hauta was only half-wet). I comforted the other guys with the fact that this kind of rain is nothing compared with American ones. Everything is bigger and better in the land of the Lawsuit, rain included. I remember thems rains from 2001/02. Gawd it was wet! Funnily, neither Toni nor Vesa were terribly impressed. Maybe they ought to go and have a looksee how the weather really works when the weather fronts are a tad larger than the ones we have here?
