‘I Had Only Gone a Few Blocks When It Started to Drizzle'
Rain Gods Dear Diary: I was leaving my house in Forest Hills for my usual morning stroll. The darkening storm clouds made things look iffy for a walk, but I decided to chance it. Off I went without an umbrella. I had only gone a few blocks when it started to drizzle. A little farther on, a steady rain began. I picked up my pace in the direction of the tennis stadium, hoping to take cover under some nearby trees. Once I got there, I spotted a lonely umbrella on a low stone wall. I picked it up and, reflecting on my good fortune, looked to the sky. 'Thank you, rain gods,' I said. As I continued on, the rainfall got heavier. I saw a woman in business attire walking toward me. She was frantically searching her bag. I assumed she was looking for an umbrella. I approached her and waved. 'Here,' I said. 'Take my umbrella.'

In the D.C. area, the air was thick with mist and moisture
The usual expression describes vanishing into thin air. In Washington on Saturday, the opposite seemed to occur. The city's distant views and vistas disappeared frequently into what appeared to be thick air. Particularly in late afternoon and early evening, the air in and around the city was filled with tiny droplets of moisture, droplets that hovered aloft, suspended between ground and sky.
