P365 Day 188: Famous Black Raincoat, part trois (+ epilogue)



And now we've come to the end of our impromptu story about the Famous Black Raincoat.

Everyone in my household has tried it on, so now it's hung up, out of feline reach and ready for it to get cold outside again. The End.

Despite the dire warnings yesterday, we still have water pressure. So ... it sucks that I got up early (well, early by my unemployed standards) to shower, but so far — knock on wood — I haven't had to leave the house to use the bathroom. Sorry, Pilot. I'll see you tomorrow on my way to Jacksonville for the weekend to visit Carrie and her new house.

You know... it isn't even a raincoat. :)

Yeah, it was an (completely unsuccessful because nobody got it) play on "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen. Eh. I've learned from other editors that sometimes the headlines rock and sometimes they fall flat.

To make up for the reference no one understood, here's a video of Jonathan Coulton covering "Famous Blue Raincoat." (It's not really a video, per se, but good listening anyway.)
