The Disney "Handover" proves it's weather-worthiness tonight when I walked a very grateful dog in the rain.

I didn't notice the back bow earlier...sweet. Interesting configuration of that bow.

I've been trying to get out and do some walking during breaks at the office. Today I got out during my 1/2 hour lunch and took a walk. The sun was out and so were the cherry blossoms.

Then a drop here and there started failing. Shortly after it started raining, and at the half-way point it started to dump huge drops. I got rain through the top seams of my shoes and felt the cold rain on my feet. By the time I got back my Marathon was pretty well soaked. It has taken rain before but not quite so much. It's a few hours later now, and the hat has dried out and is no worse for wear.

Wow, dodged a bullet. I was indoors when we had a gully washer.

I used to try and use umbrellas when I worked in Portland. Most of the time the wind was blowing so hard the umbrella would get blown inside out anyway... So, a good hat and top coat are really the way to go.

Just to add an update on the two soaking I got above in the Penneys Marathon, and then the Akubra Cobber Pedy: the hats dried out just fine, no worse for wear, and after a little brushing they went back into their respective hat boxes.
