The ohioans and by extension the americans, are not afraid of the rain. This means that while you are using a plebian umbrella, you will see americans taking a full water blast. Not necessarily running. Just walking and enjoying a free body shower. Then, the first time you see this egregious image, you may think, what about the colds, wet hair and all this particularly dangerous consequences associated with wettness that my mom taught me? They will tell you: Well, colds equals facts of life. Easy to accept, right?
"I got a cold" they say. Pretty nasty, right? Not for the stoich yankis" -How you got it?
"oh well, it rained and I didnt had an umbrella" But they don't explain it to you with a sad sigh. No, they tell it to you like "I just got it" like saying "oh, by the way a car run over me and now I am dead".
Similarly like my friend Daniel: -How you got that cold? And he will tell you: I went to sleep clothless after taking a shower and with my room's window wide open. He did it precisely on a harsh damm cold winter night. No problemo!
