Pineapple Express

Everybody knows the reputation that the northwest has for rain, but this is ridiculous. It has been raining steadily since last Friday (this is Wednesday!). The news agencies, paragons of understatement, shout that this is a record breaking storm (storm? It's just rain with a little breeze!), which may dump as much as ten inches. It does get a mite damp, however, and I find myself yearning for a bit of sun and it's only November.
