So it is traditional for me to go to the pancake breakfast at the legislature for Canada Day. And for the past few I’ve taken to walking there. I probably got annoyed with trying to park there on the busiest day and I have a pavlovian response to that.
I probably should have left earlier. A half hour into my walk it started to rain. Not a lot, but noticeable. I did not have a jacket or an umbrella with me, because I don’t want the weather to think it can push me around.
It did get a bit worse by the time I arrived. But that actually made it easier to eat. There were no lines. The pancakes were fresh and hot. It wasn’t crowded around the syrup stands. Easy to find a seat.
And as time went on, the rain started coming down harder.
Yes, I did get a little wet. Enough that a politician (I think) took a picture of me getting rained on, saying he was going to put in on Twitter.
