Seriously guys, you're still talking about a few drops of rain?
My adopted hometown looks like this each spring:

I always laugh when people say GW welted shoes are water proof; they must never seen real rain.

As a southerner who had the pleasure of living in Southern California (San Diego) for a few years, I had to chuckle, as this is such a Southern California sentence. I can distinctly remember my amusement the first time that I saw that "rain" was the lead story on local news, with recommendations to stay at home if you don't need to be out.

Seriously, they warn people to stay at home because of rain.

Bless their hearts.
It is because Southern California does not have the infrastructure for rain.

It's amusing to make fun of the reaction to rain in LA and similar places, but the reality is that people probably don't know how to drive in wet conditions (practice makes perfect and they get no practice). There's lot of oil on the roads that combines with the water to make them extra slippery. Windshield wipers, unused forever, have perished rubber and ineffectively clear the water.

No tie so I think this thread is most appropriate, X-post from the Luxire thread. This fit is all Luxire with the exception of the suede belt which is Epaulet, and the snuff suede Alden chukkas which are not visible:

^Love the lifestyle shot. As usual, that looks awesome @Beatlegeuse


Thanks! All I can think now when I look at that pic is, man my hair is getting very gray very quickly.

That looks great @Beatlegeuse! Stylish and relaxed. What's the watch?

(and don't complain about your hair turning grey, at least you have hair ;))

Thank you! The watch is a Tsovet SVT-RS40. I don't know too much about watches, but this one was relatively inexpensive and I really like the way it looks. I wear it almost every day. At some point I'd like to upgrade to a Stowa, but even if I did in sure I'd still wear this one as well.

And I still have some hair, but it is fading fast! I guess I should stop complaining about it being gray before it gets mad at me and it all leaves at once.
