Rugs, Bugs and Sunsets….Day Two Hundred, Thirty Eight

I keep a couple of rugs laid out in the back of the car.  It gives the dogs something to lay on, prevents them from slipping and helps reduce the wear and tear on the car.

I washed the rugs yesterday because I was taking a couple of co-workers to the airport today.  So my car got what I like to refer to as a “Quick douche.”  You may also refer to it as “A Lick and a Promise.”  I basically wiped as much as I could down and got up as much of the dirt as I could with a damp rag.

As luck would have it, the rains came again today, just before I left work.  We waited for a break in the rain to walk the dogs.  I went out to the car to bring the rugs to Chet only to find wet paw prints all over the back of the car.  It seems someone was anxious for a walk.

Even with the rain, I knew those bugs would be all over me.  I decided to try out my bug cap, which was recommended by our friends at 2BrownDawgs and Gone For a Walk.  I’m sure it’s going to make fellow hikers look at me strangely, but if it keeps those bugs away, I”m all for it.

By the end of our walk, the rain had washed away the humidity and left a beautiful blue sky, with some white fluffy clouds.

Some parts of the state are still under thunderstorm watch, but I think we are done.  At least if the sunset is any indicator.
