Avoiding Raindrops

Taking a walk on a humid summer day, you're halfway to your destination when a complete downpour of warm rain surrounds you. You speedwalk and hunch your back in an attempt to stay dry. You walk on the heels of your feet to protect your shoes; your eyes are in a trance on the sidewalk to avoid puddles. At a certain point, the pace lessens, the back straightens, the clothes are drenched, and the eyes no longer search for puddles. There's no sense in trying to walk between rain drops, so you might as well soak up all you can.
