Rainy Day People
Street Talk
Thursday, February 3, 2000
It''s the much-needed rainy season. But the sky seems confused about whether or not to dump water on us. Maybe it''s waiting for the go-ahead from the water board.
With all these changes in the weather, we wondered how--if at all--it affects you. Here are some rainy-day people just like you and me, and some helpful tips.

Do you think the weather affects people? Of course...
How does it affect you? Well, when it''s raining I don''t feel like doing anything. And when it''s nice I feel like I have to get everything done all at once.
All right, now lay on us a fashion tip for this rainy season. Yellow vinyl everything. Raincoats, boots, a hat--the whole deal. Ralph Lauren is working in yellow this year.

Does the weather affect people? Yes, I think people get weird and become solitary.
How does it affect you? I get slower and my mind wanders a little more. I feel a bit uncomfortable, too.
Any suggestions? Wear leather boots and pants that don''t sag. If you get wet it can get very uncomfortable down there.

Does the weather affect your mood? Oh yes, it puts me in a bad mood.
What do you do when it''s a bit nasty outside? I light a fire in the fireplace and sit back, sipping some whiskey or something.
What would you suggest eating for the rainy season? Chicken soup and a good roasted chicken--not fried.
