 Another shot from a wet Friday lunch hour. I went up to the place where I get my hair cut and asked if I could stand out on their balcony, in the rain, for a bit. Since I'd just had my hair cut there the week before, I guess they figured I didn't intend anything untoward. Or the lady I asked didn't speak English and just said OK...

Wow, Deb! Two top 10s in a row. It really says something that this very high score doesn't even show up in your top 5! :)
