I look like a dork, but I'm dry

Ten out of ten people think this is dorky.

It has rained pretty hard the last couple of days, but the suit, overboots and waterproof gloves have kept me dry. I look like an astronaut when I walk in to a place, but thankfully it all comes off in about 20 seconds, and I've got jeans and a t-shirt underneath. This morning I went through hail for about ten minutes before I gave up and stopped at a restaurant to wait out the weather. I had a great conversation - my French Canadian waitress was a shameless and vulgar flirt, about 50 years old.

Update: I spent two days riding through a monsoon in Vermont and Massachusetts, and I ended up soaked to the bone. Now I'm a wet dork.
