Also, it's raining. When I left the house it was nice -- gentle invisible lines painting the world like artifacts in old film, undetectable even in the porch, until you feel their gentle caress as you step out.

Thirty seconds later I was wishing for windscreen wipers on my glasses and my warmer coat round my neck.

Now it seems dull and blue-grey and set in for the winter. If you don't see me, I'll be hiding in a spare conference room with a Vernor Vinge and waiting for the sun.

I'm a big wimp when it comes to eyes, I really really don't like the idea. I bet I'd have some difficulty not blinking with drops too.

Bah, sunlight is the abnormality. Rainstorms FTW!
