Yes, I did watch the forecast, but there are a couple of things at play here:
1. The forecast called for "possible" thunder storms. We get those here often, but they usually last 10 minutes, and the roads are dry within an hour. The car getting wet is one thing. My having to drive on wet roads and mud puddles -- now, THAT ticks me off when I've just had the thing detailed. Which brings me to number 2.
2. I usually wash the car myself -- by hand. About once every six months, though I take it to this "executive detail" place. They do an excellent job, and my X always looks show-room ready when I pick it up. They book up quickly, though. I tried getting an appointment for Friday, but it was not available, so I settled for yesterday. And, well... it was not supposed to rain ALL night long!!!
Anyway, I feel better now...
