This week is going to be mostly rain. Part of walking around during the rain is seeing the umbrella casualties that didn’t make it home or the trip to work. Some umbrellas look genuinely messed up, others look like they could’ve made it. Clearly not everyone has mastered umbrella-fu. My umbrella has one broken joint, [...]

I think people who dislike the rain really resent it when they meet someone who doesn’t mind it or actually LIKES the rain. I don’t hate the rain, I think it’s good because it keeps the weather cool. It doesn’t affect me most of the time because usually it doesn’t rain hard enough that I’ll [...]

Actually last night the thunder was indeed accompanied by some rain so it was significantly cooler around 10 pm. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to cool my apartment down. I ended up using my air conditioner anyway. Monday night though there was quite a lightning storm. Saw several enormous bolts of lightning before it moved [...]

I wrote this strip on Monday night, but if the weather holds up its end of the bargain it’s a ridiculously warm 62° today. Seriously, this is ridiculous. Isn’t it supposed to be 20° or something? At least 30’s I’d say but instead the rest of the week it’s going to be in the 40s. [...]

I was in midtown when I saw a guy with his friends. This guy seriously was riding his umbrella like a pretend horse yelling “ride ‘em” and all that. I would’ve loved to have known the context of why he was doing that. Was he imitating someone else or was he actually that insane and [...]

I hate when it doesn’t rain after I’ve been carrying my gigantic umbrella all around. Cool as it would be if my umbrella actually were a magic sceptre that made rain go away (thus explaining why so often it doesn’t rain when I have it) I still like my carrying it around to be justified. [...]

I’ve already had plenty of Summers in the city, and I’m familiar with how uncomfortable it can be on the subway or in Chinatown where the heat gives new legs to the smells that during the best of times are still horrible. Despite all this I think yesterday when I got into the 34th street [...]

I get kind of like this when it’s warm enough outside that rain without an umbrella is sort of refreshing. Doubly so if I’m wearing contact lenses because the rain is a real pain when your glasses are getting water all over them, then they start fogging up and all that. But wearing contacts, warm [...]

You can bet that as soon as this rain is over there’s going to be a guy on my roof fixing this. It’s not so terribly bad but leaking ceilings are never a good thing. As I write this the rain has petered off and my ceiling doesn’t look like a whole bunch of bulging [...]

And to think that if the office I worked in didn’t have windows I wouldn’t have know that it snowed yesterday at all because by the time I got out it was drizzling and the sidewalks were all wet. I think the phrase of this Winter is “You know I don’t know if global warming [...]
