The Rain

It's winter time in California - which means rain. Winter rain is one of the worst elements to deal with. With cold snow you can bundle up and just brush it off. With summer downpours you can just get wet. But with the winter rains the challenge is finding the miracle fabric that keeps the outside water out, while keeping you from becoming drenched inside with sweat. Luckily at Stanford we have train and bus passes, so I've been cheating a bit, and relying on the woefully inadequate Santa Clara county transit to get around. But nothing beats working from home on a rainy day.
