I suppose it's been sunny there the past 2 days? It was SUPPOSED to be here too. But we have had 2 days of unexplained clouds, most likely from Dreary Erie. Usually the weather DMZ is around Mansfield. Anything south of that might as well be Florida compared to us.

I'll be in Cloudland this weekend. I hope it's Sunland on Sunday though because I'm golfing.

Sometimes, even it DOES rain. If I waited for days with no rain to put the top down this year, I might as well get an SUV...

I've been in two downpours this summer with the top down. You know it's bad when the inside of the windshield gets soaked. But I've also let the car sit during most of the rain we've had lately. Tires are starting to get crappy in the rain and gas is cheaper for the Accord anyway...

Saturday was gorgeous except a lil cool at night. Went to see the folks up in Canton. The trip home at dusk was a lil cool with the top down,so the top went up @ Wendy's in Lexington for the rest of the trip home
Today is incredible just came home long enough to fire up the grill and back out again after supper.May be a trip to Ritters on Sawmill for some icecream

hehe, I've been caught with the top down on the way home from work a couple times... the problem is rolling the windows up and driving faster doesn't really help since the water just blows up to the top of the window and goes over the top onto you.

Yeah, it seems to help to keep the windows down, at least at first. That way, you get more air turbulence and that helps keep the interior mostly dry. But once you get enough rain, it'll come around the edge of the windshield and/or over the windows onto you. Oh well. At least the top goes up fast when you come to a stop!
