Last weekend, Mother Nature decided to bless the Boston area with two days of showers. The end result reminded me of Storm 2006 in El Paso.
I set out on Monday morning with my family-of-four-sized umbrella and my cheetah print rain boots. A light drizzle fell throughout the day, but occasionally it would pour. When I arrived at the train station at the end of the day, the MBTA was using buses to shuttle us from the station. The employees from that station that rode along with us appeared to have been sworn to secrecy when I asked what had happened. We then proceeded to go to each station along the route and pick up every other person that was supposed to be riding the train.
Within minutes, the bus was filled with other anxious, wet commuters. So I settled in my seat for the most odoriferous 45-minute ride I hope to ever experience. The scent made me think of what it must smell like in the staging area at the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in Madison Square Garden: wet dog.
