Waiting out the rain

What would the South be without summer rains?  Less humid.

We've been having some summer rainstorms that come on quite suddenly, and dump a lot of rain in a short time.  We just got back from rescuing the Elders Jones and Campbell - way out on the east side of Starkville, with a flat tire, no less.  The rain was still coming down after we got them and their bikes back to their apartment, and we drove to our.  We had to wait another 20 minutes in the car before we'd even venture out. 

When it finally tapered off, we both took off our shoes and socks, cause the parking lot had about 2" of water running down it, and we'de have ruined our shoes.  Not the lake forming by the next building.  The umbrellas we were presented from my speaking at EMCC really came in handy today.

After a rain like this, the humidity is near 100%, and mist just hangs in the air.  We're now getting daytime temps around 100F, and experiencing the hot mugginess that southern summers are notorious for.  We seem to be somewhat acclimatized to it.  Mostly it's because we don't have to be out in it very long.  If I was hoein' cotton all day, I'd just die.
