   Neighbor

   Do you still believe there is no bad weather, only bad clothing?
2. 

   Friend

   No. That saying was written by someone with a porch. This is horizontal rain.
3. 

   Friend

   Shall we dress like sailors and still call it a fresh day?
4. 

   Neighbor

   Yes, we can call it a fresh day. Fresh is a kind word for rude weather.
5. 

   Neighbor

   Shall we admit defeat and take the long way under the trees?
6. 

   Friend

   Yes, let's take the long way under the trees. Dignity is overrated when the wind is personal.
7. 

   Friend

   If we make it to the cafe, is the first cinnamon bun a moral victory?
8. 

   Neighbor

   Yes, the first cinnamon bun is a moral victory. Weather like this should come with pastry compensation.
9. 

   Neighbor

   Shall we skip the hill and take my car if the rain stays sideways?
10. 

    Friend

    Yes, let's skip the hill and take your car if the rain stays sideways.
