“That rain had been festering all day.” -a thing our waitress said to another customer over at the Joliet Route 66 Diner in downtown Joliet.

(One more reason why I love to listen to people talking. Once, in a different diner in a different town, I heard the cook announce she was going outside to smoke “a piece” of a cigarette.)
