I thought you liked rain!

I do -- but it has to be the nice, cool, dry Great Pacific Northwest kind of rain, not the wet, sloppy, everything's dripping Eastern rain.

Well, okay, I'm half-kidding about the "dry." But this was a warm rain, the kind that creates muggy weather. I'm sure folks back East would laugh, in that what we have right now would be considered near-pleasant. It's the kind of temperature and humidity that as long as you're in a breeze it's okay; when the breeze stops -- ugh.

Went to pull out and test the camping gear in the garage when we got home. After 20 minutes I was soaked.

(Then discovered we had no Internet connection. After a few tests decided it was the DSL provider's side. Called, and sure enough -- in 2(?) years the first outage not caused by regional power blackouts. Got on through the cellphone and rediscovered why I don't like big photos.)
