Walkin' in the Rain

I did eight miles Saturday in the rain, and it was fun. Foot-hurty, mayhaps, but refreshing. I went up along the Schuykill Banks and then up Kelly Drive. There were a few other walkers out there, but not many. There's one thing to be said for constant rain: It keeps the footpath clear.

Ever notice that after you get rained on you don't feel/smell any cleaner? You just feel/smell rained on? Maybe pre-pollution rain made you feel/smell better, but today's rain just makes me want a shower.

Has anyone read Poul Anderson's Brain Wave? Great premise, but IMO a lousy storytelling. I won't reveal any of the plot, but I'm curious to know what others think.
