Gregory's ServerRain in Ketchikan is no joke.
I had the great idea of going out to fetch some groceries during a downpour, but did not think to wear waterproof pants, the result was that my jeans were soaked, it felt like having clingwrap around my legs.

  "We thought we would get soaked today, but the storm clouds never approached us, and once halfway across Dixon Entrance the sun dominated the skies. We saw no new wildlife here, but the water and Southeast Alaskan shores were always full of gulls, a gull on every rock. Everytime we looked ashore for a glimpse of something alive, something new, there was always just gulls. Gulls abound. We still haven't seen a bear, maybe the gulls have agreed to act as stand-ins. The gull syndicate is strong on this coast." "The brightness of the day and the still waters created a perfect inverted reflection of the rocks and trees bordering the channel. This inversion gave the impression that the land continued, that we could see its underside, like it was floating in space. Looking around I felt nauseous, ungrounded, the world had stopped making sense, up was down, and our boat was flying in the void." |
@rek Oh god, wet jeans are the worst.
