I love the rain. I came out of my office today to a nice steady Portland rain. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest rain is more normal than sunshine. Many of my happy childhood memories of playing in the backyard were... in the rain! So there's a certain level of familiarity when it gets wet outside. I didn't like rain in Utah, it was too hard, too nasty, and there was lightning and thunder. Nothing wrong with lightning and thunder, but it's not what feels like home to me. I just like the smell, feel and look of a steady Northwest rain.
