For a lark, a friend and I attended an outdoor political rally back in October. It was overcast and spitting rain now and then, but the temperature was seasonal and perfectly comfortable. We were therefore surprised to read news accounts that evening in which the big-city reporters described the "raw" conditions that we supposedly hardy participants had braved for hours.
"Wow!" commented my friend. "They need to come out to the Cheshire Races one year."
It would be fun indeed to see what the reporters would have to say about the mud and sleet!
