ergy Commission on the Eni
wetok and Bikini bomb tests
in 1958. 1 used to sit. with
mv puncho around me like a
tent and watch the movies in
our outdoor theatre at Eni
wetok, and as I said, stay
dry as far as the falling rain
went, even though it some
times fell so hard you could
hardly see the picture screen.
Blit. Alas for all hope of
perfection in this world — t
still get wet. I got wet from
perspiration beneath that air
less garment. After two hours
of a movie on tropical night,
well watered by at least two
tropical downpours. I was dry
as a bone as far as the rain
went but well soaked by my
own perspiration!
So much for raincoats.
And, unfortunately, umbrellas
are no better. Even a big,
golf bummershoot will let
your trouser legs and shoes
get wet, as I found out the
other day.
Guess the best thing to do
is stay in when it rains and
listen to the rain on the roof.
That's what we usually do at
ALMAR Farm.
