RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY...
Nothing's worse than when it rains in Arkham.
The air gets very thick, and carries the rank smell of the seaport wafting through town. They might as well be hauling crabs outside the office right now.
You know those Polar Bear clubs, where crazy people go swimming in the ocean on New Year's Day to feel alive, or something? Arkham has its own group of nuts who go swimming every time it rains, no matter what the temperature. They call themselves the Old Ones Swimming Club, which I think is a reference to the fact that the majority of them are pushing 90. They've been doing it since the early 1900s, and not without their share of accidental drownings or disappearances. But then again, I hope I'm still swimming when I'm 90.
