Splish Splash

I know I live on an island, but this morning I felt like I was stranded on an island. There I was walking to work, umbrella in hand and ready to go. Yeah, the rain was pouring but it wasn't too bad. Then I got to the corner of my block. I was stranded. Water all around me. And I'm not talking about puddles, I’m talking about mini rivers.
So I did what I had to do. I looked for the shallow part and went for it. The water was past my ankles, but there was nothing I could do. So I continued walking to the bus stop while my shoes squished. Then I attempted to cross Hylan Blvd. There weren't any big puddles in site so I thought I was safe. Wrong. I played what seemed to be a game of Frogger and made it half way and stopped on the divider. All I wanted was the bus stop shelter at this point. As I stood on the divider waiting to cross the last part of the street, a truck came. A very large truck. Even though there weren't any big puddles, the bastard soaked the back of me. It wasn't pretty.

I finally made it to the bus stop and the bus came within minutes, which was nice. Then I got off the bus in the city and my umbrella broke.

I guess it's true when they say when it rains it pours.
