The following is a transcription of a phone post that originally appeared in my main journal, here.

Okay, it's 5:30 in the morning and I'm headed out to meet Jay. It's wet, wet, wet out, although it's not raining right now. We seem to be in the lull between two big storms, so I'm fully kitted up with fender and rain jack and so forth. Hopefully this day won't be too painful; that's all I'm really asking of it. I think it's gonna be wet. Hopefully the cell phone will continue to work throughout it. Taking what steps I can to to protect it, but we'll see how it goes. Not very optimistic that this day is gonna be very fun, but once you get wet you can't get any wetter, so at that point it doesn't really matter. So it's just a question now of getting over the hump and getting soaking wet and then saying the heck with it all. That's the way this day's gonna go. Thankfully it'll be over by 10:30, I think, should be in Provincetown. Next update from the first water stop.
