The Droid phone rings. It's the folks who own the house I am renting. Fires from the other side of the street that have been burning for weeks have crossed to my side of the street. About a block away from you she says. "Thanks for the info" and back to my wonderful pint of Hazed.
I mean, what am I gonna do, run with my hose and put it out? Firemen are there for that. Thanks a lot firemen by the way. Great work you do.
So a coupla pints later, off to the ALFA Spider and the top down 20 mile cruise home to Deland. Hmmm, skies look ominous up north. We might get a bit moist.
Yup, sure enuf, about 5 miles from Casa Galardi, the skies open with a Freakin' Florida Fury! In about 20 seconds, the Spider and I are drenched. Ah yes, there's a bridge to hide under and flip the rather leaky top up.
Onward little Spider. Rain is pelting us and finding every seam in this 25 year old Italian. What the heck, I am already soaked. A little more will keep the skin supple.
A few miles later I approach my hard sand road. Hmmm, looks like a police car at the entrance. Citizen's Patrol actually. A lovely lass hops out and stops me. What's your house #? 2714 I tell her...and she says "your ok...go ahead". Thanks dear...sorry you had to hop out of the Citizen cruiser and get soaked though.
Finally home...time to mop the water out of Spidey :-). Thanks for the rain dear Lord. Maybe keep the house from burnin' tonight :-)
