Heh. True. But you learn pretty quick.

Our first summer here I went for my daily walk about 3 PM. Skies a little cloudy but the walk is six miles and things change quick around here, weather-wise. No umbrella. Sure enough, at about Mile Four The skies opened up and did their thing. No big deal: I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sandals so I just took off my shirt and kept on going. Entering our village on the way back the gate guy grinned yelled "looks like you forgot something!"

"Yep" I yelled back. "A bar of soap".
