Topic: There's a storm coming and I have to walk 4km in it to work

It's going to be windy and rainy as fuck. I could first go out in it and buy a fancy jacket and pants, maybe even fancy shoes. However I will probably all ready be wet once I reach the store. I have backup clothes at work but those are pants with joint burns in them.

To help preserve it in good condition for as long as possible.

But you see it's fancy, built to survive and keep you safe from heavy rain. It's expensive but I don't feel like buying something cheap that keeps you dry the first 10 or 20 min

No, I understand. It will still work if it had a further covering. But it will weather and degrade over time. If you had something else, a plastic Mac perhaps, over top, then it will look new for longer.

Oh I see, yeah, agreed. I mean, for a storm, why not add a poncho. I think they even have similar ones to what the Americans wore in the Vietnam war.

There's a small chance a tornado might even appear. Could mean I have tomorrow off anyways. So fuck it I'll sleep longer

The storm with a possible tornado just turned out to be heavy rain that I miraculously avoided. It's all good B 👍
