Event: And Then This Happened: Rain Storm in Union Square
Cost: FREE (and included a pair of soaking wet socks!)
Summary: When life hands you a massive passing rain storm, take pictures.
I had an umbrella at work. I try to keep one there in case it, you know, rains. And while it was threatening when I left the office, no one outside was carrying one so I decided I could go without. And I made it from the office to Grand Central just fine. It was when I got to Union Square that I found I'd perhaps made the wrong decision.
Though, with how hard it was coming down, I'm not sure an umbrella would have made much difference.
