Not raining, parked and went in Home Depot to price 6' ladders.
Now, its a Florida monsoon; have to wait it out because rain jacket left in car. In Home Depot. With a VISA card and no supervision.
IN HOME DEPOT!
(At least its not BassPro Shops.)

I’m not sure the people at Home Depot would appreciate a demonstration of a cubit.

From Genesis, Chapter 6 (KJV):
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

You could maybe afford to build a dinghy at today's prices.

I don't now, couple 6' ladders, some ratchet straps, and bunch of Homer buckets and you could do something like:
Could probably add a sail with the 55 gallon drum liners and a curtain rod.

I want a picture of you walking out under an open ladder that's covered with plastic.

I'm a brand new freshman in college and my (late) brother, who was a senior, and I were walking from the student union building out to the car when it started pouring. As I took off in a jog to get to the car he said, "Real men don't run to get out of the rain".
Or as my father would say, "What are you, made of shit? You ain't gonna melt." Dad had a way with words.
