Raining on a clear day

Home is a short 10 minute walk from the office. When I started for home it was cloudy and windy. I thought no big deal, I can make it home before the rain comes. Well, 5 minutes into the walk it started to pour. No problem! I had an umbrella. Umbrellas only work if the rain is falling in a vertical pattern. This rain came more in a horizontal way. By time I got home the only thing dry on me was my head. I was drenched to the bone. I could feel water running down my legs. Miriam had to iron my suit(can you do that?) and dry out the tie and shoes. I think I need something other than my small umbrella. Either a full body rain suit or an umbrella that encompasses my entire body.That was our Monday. Tuesday was a much better day. More rain expected on Wednesday.
