That damn garage It took me a while to make 3 trips to Lucille with my gear. The garage was down the block, and around the corner, and I was carrying all my stuff. Funny story. I forgot that I had set the alarm on Lucille. Truthfully, it had never gone off, so I assumed

Cold and wet? Though it didn’t rain in the night, I woke up feeling cold and wet. Since I knew there had been no rain, I ignored the feeling and tried to go back to sleep. No dice. I got up and, sure enough, my down sleeping bag was definitely damp. Not soaked, but wet
