It was rainy when we got up. That's good. When the ground gets too parched, we now witness an increased forest fire hazard. A damp day in the middle of a great streak of weather is surely okay. I spied a few moments this morning when it looked like it was clearing.
I took the SkyTrain one stop to the west and went to see if the local thrift shop had any suitable 36" shorts. I am a big fan of reuse. It seems more logical and kinder to the environment to make use of good-quality, pre-owned items like clothing. I donated all last summer's size 38" shorts to them. When I lose or gain weight, I treat the thrift store as an exchange.
As I entered, a sign read, "30% all swim wear." I picked up a couple of pair that looked like new. I didn't get them for us. We have a hot tub and swimming pool in our building. It's good to have a few extra pair if guests visit and want to go for a swim or spend time in the sauna.
It hadn't turned very pleasant while I was in the store, so I went back home. It wasn't pouring but it was still dark. It seemed like a good time to visit our hot tub area. I didn't make use of either of the extra swim suits that we now own.
The water felt great. I like looking outside at rain when I'm sitting in comfortably hot water.
