Weather forecast for Topeka

Currently the 10-day shows rain on both Thu and Fri.

Awesome

(My rain tires are the proper aspect ratio. )

If Kansas weather is anything like it is here that means there is a good chance it will be sunny.

Amazingly, the cleaners were able to save the leather jacket that got soaked in Toledo.

That's why all my jackets are leatherette.


Wait, wasn't it like 80 degrees? You were wearing a leather jacket?

You're talking to a man who wears slacks to the garage.

The problem was that I wasn't wearing it, and Clyde and JV didn't spot it when we got flash flooded. (That'd be my fault, it wasn't even near the rest of my stuff which they kindly covered.)

Either way, there was only about 30 seconds to save stuff from a soaking.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the weather reports yet. I would plan on bringing (and buying, if needed) rain gear.
