Both Eve and I liked it, and we had developed a taste for beer while on military service. Eve was careful not to drink too much, and I kept my consump...tion in line with hers out of politeness.That night, we had a hell of a rain storm, much worse than we had at any time last winter. Our main thought at the time was, "Thank God it isn't snow!" It rained so hard that we actually had some rain blown into our air intake, and some water managed to get into our cave by that route.
