Raining on their Parade

Today was slated to be a very busy one for me, with the Fireball Classic 5k and 10k run, Kiwanis July fourth activities in the Wintersmith Park, the Stonewall July fourth parade, and more. But thanks to an early hurricane, Alex, who made landfall Wednesday in Mexico, drawing Gulf of Mexico moisture up to us in abundance, the only thing it looks like I am going to shoot (and am now done shooting) is the Fireball Classic. The rain persisted throughout the event, and although I was dressed out for it, I never really like working in the rain.
