Spooky rain

It rained all day, and still is, which in itself is fine. This particular rain wasn't fun to get caught out in, though. It was one of those high wind, heavy rain storms which―as I've mentioned previously―mean that you can't win for losing as far as umbrellas go. My umbrella survives, but only because I benched it even when it meant getting wet.

On the bright side, I just heard a wind gust a few minutes ago that sounds like the musical saw on this song.

That's exactly the kind of rain storm that leaves little choice - you either stay inside or go out and get wet. Hopefully you were able to get warm and dry without too much difficulty.

We have a long term habit of sleeping with a window open and in Halifax in winter that meant just a tiny bit. Howls and whistles all through the nights is something I don't miss.

However, Mysterious Mose was a good comparison to what you heard. That's still one of my all time favorite albums. I can hear Persian Rug right now.

You can always get dry when you get home. It's just a matter of how many clothes you have to change. From what I recall I got a little wet but not soaked through to the skin, so I just took off my socks and lay them on the radiator for a while.

Interesting habit of sleeping with the window ajar. I wonder if you picked that up when Multi was around. It's sort of a cat owner practice.

"Persian Rug" was another great number by R. Crumb and the boys. That must have been such an unexpected sideline for him, but it makes for great listening.
