Day Three of rain, rain, rain. Is it still April???

I'm not griping, just making small talk. The rain is probably a good thing, helping to cool off that global warming thing. A cool globe is a happy globe,and a happy globe is the place for me!

I'd probably enjoy this weather more if I had a better jacket. The rain slicker I wear doesn't breathe, so even though it's not exactly boiling outside, if I'm even just going for a short little walk, I sweat like I'm running a marathon, wearing an overcoat.

Sorry. That's just the way it is. And yes, it is an unpleasant mental image.

I suppose in retrospect I should have spent more than $8.00 on the jacket, but it looked so shiny, I just couldn't resist. Deep down, I probably knew I'd live to regret my impulse buy, economical as it may have seemed at the time.

It had a cut to it that made me think for some dumb reason that Elvis may have worn a similar one, back in the day. It had a collar that stuck up, and the color was dark black, like a motorcycle jacket. A shiny, inexpensive motorcycle jacket...

As a matter of fact, the first time I tried it on, I immediately launched into an impression of The King, in front of the gas station mirror. If he had also ever had bifocals and a crappy mustache, it would have been bang-on!!

Well, I own it now, there's nothing I can do. Even if I cared to get to the mall to buy another one, I'd have to wear this one, in today's rain. What do you do with 2 jackets??

I'm not Donald Trump, for Pete's sake...

Chow for now!!
