Bring a raincoat

David White, the pastor of St. Columba's Church has now told me four times to bring a raincoat to Scotland. In one of my first replies about the raincoat, I commented that we had been experiencing a drought for the past several years in our area. "Drought?" His response was, "We think it strange if we have a drought here for a week!"

However, Providence has both gently and forcefully reminded us of what rain looks like as Hurricane Fay has come through the state. With periods of light, steady rainfall to actual torrents coming down, I now remember the experience of rain.

And, yes, I am taking a raincoat.
