Another rainy day

Grossly underpaid writer sums up yesterday.

Friday afternoon in downtown Charleston and the rain is pouring like water out of a boot. The delivery guys from Papa John's and Main Kwong are working double speed because umbrellas are unfashionable.

Smokers shelter their cigarettes with their hands and cluster under the awning of the little doorways. They watch for stray drops as if expecting falling cinderblocks.
