Banal observation of the day
No matter how much I hate umbrellas, I will never, ever stoop so low as to wear one of those absurd looking rubber raincoats. Not even in the most torrential of mid-Atlantic downpours.

Banal observ. #2:
How the populace responds to moderate to heavy rain is very area/location specific.
In SF, it seems like every person in town has an umbrella and uses it generously. Just 500 miles north in Portland, umbrellas are disdained, but rain resistant hoody/pull-overs are widespread. I doubt if either are common in Arizona.
A rubber full-length fishing-trawler coat does seem excessive for DC, though.
Near naked works too, if the rain is warm [smile].
If you're arrested while walking naked in the rain, the cops'll make you wear one of those raincoats, so it sort of defeats the purpose.
