Challenged the gods and drove the 3 to work this morning with the top down.  
Deep overcast, but no rain, and I made it in. 

All day, though, people asked me how I was going to drive home.  Uhm, duh.  I 
have a top in the trunk.  

"Oh," they said.  I couldn't tell if they were disappointed, or just had no 
concept of a car that carries it's convertible top in the trunk.

Uhm, duh reversal.  When time came to drive home, it was already raining.  I 
had on khakis that needed washing anyway, a good hat, and a winter coat, so of 
course left the top down and drove home in a warm rain.  You really CAN outrun 
most of the raindrops.  The ones that leak in between the door and the bulkhead 
do dampen pants, but oh well.

I looked pretty dumb, I suppose, but it was almost as much fun as in the 
sunshine.  ...At least this once.

Don't let the b*stds get you down.  You can wait forever for life to be 
perfect.  Enjoy what you have while you have it.

Terry Smith,
New Hampshire
