It’s raining today, hallelujah. (I had to try three times to get “hallelujah” spelled right. Don’t use that word often.)

We’ve had about a half inch so far. Not much by back-east standards, but it’s a great start here in Dry-ville.

One of the things I like about rainy days is that my tendency to stay inside and read/write is 100% justified. With 330+ bright sunny days per year, the self-imposed pressure to go outside and “do something” gets old.

Update – just saw this on NPR and thought it was interesting. For what it’s worth, other populations – in this case the Dutch – are having trouble accepting pandemic restrictions too. It’s not just us. Misery loves company.
