    がんばれ小傘さん 228

    自分の日頃の行いを小傘さんに投影して描いてみようという日記漫画です。

    小傘じゃなくて僕が高知出身なんですけどね。
    というわけで、流れるように熱海旅行編から高知旅行編です。
    旅行しまくりですね！
    ちなみに先日、アメリカ旅行はこの年と書きましたが、アルバムをよく見たらアメリカ旅行はこの一年前、2001年でした。

    Kogasa's truly God of Rain. Somebody make a citation from Adams, I read this book only in Russian...

    "He had read somewhere that the Eskimos had over two hundred different words for snow, without which their conversation would probably have got very monotonous. So they would distinguish between thin snow and thick snow, light snow and heavy snow, sludgy snow, brittle snow, snow that came in flurries, snow that came in drifts, snow that came in on the bottom of your neighbour's boots all over your nice clean igloo floor, the snows of winter, the snows of spring, the snows you remember from your childhood that were so much better than any of your modern snow, fine snow, feathery snow, hill snow, valley snow, snow that falls in the morning, snow that falls at night, snow that falls all of a sudden just when you were going out fishing, and snow that despite all your efforts to train them, the huskies have pissed on.

    Rob McKeena had two hundred and thirty-one different types of rain entered in his little book, and he didn't like any of them.
    [...]
    Since he had left Denmark the previous afternoon, he had been through types 33 (light pricking drizzle which made the roads slippery), 39 (heavy spotting), 47 to 51 (vertical light drizzle through to sharply slanting light to moderate drizzle freshening), 87 and 88 (two finely distinguished varieties of vertical torrential downpour), 100 (post-downpour squalling, cold), all the seastorm types between 192 and 213 at once, 123, 124, 126, 127 (mild and intermediate cold gusting, regular and syncopated cab-drumming), 11 (breezy droplets), and now his least favourite of all, 17.

    Rain type 17 was a dirty blatter battering against his windscreen so hard that it didn't make much odds whether he had his wipers on or off.
    [...]
    And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKeena was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him."

    So Long and Thanks For All the Fish by Douglas Adams, Chapter 2, excerpt.
