I almost take it personally when it rains. I tend to blow a lot of fireballs. There is an exhilarating feeling that happens when the rain is coming down and the fireball is going up. Take that, gloomy sky! One would think that the chemical burns are lessened on account of the rain washing it away. That is not the case. Rain spreads it out. I recall that on this day, the rain got me so wet that it soaked down past my belt. Now those were uncomfortable chemical burns!
