Every time I've suggested moving somewhere with more sun she would say some variation of, "I know you want to go back to California/Florida, but I like having all four seasons." Last year we visited Thing #2 in Reno for Thanksgiving. It was cold but sunny. Then we came back to 5 more months of cloudy, cold, snow, slush, and rain. Now she finally understands it can be winter without being grey all the time. And she seems to be open to the idea that it doesn't have to last for 6 months, either. -- Drew

Or at least within this 40 mile rainshadow strip. We came from Colorado! When M said we are going to Washington I could only envision Seattle weather which is nasty. She said we were moving to Port Angeles which is where the TV show Sirens was based out of. They have lots of rainy scenes and ocean boat storm schenes. I'm moving to what? I was shocked by the perfect weather. It is so obvious when we drive in and out of the area that when we cross the rain shadow threshold the weather sucks. We cross back into our rain shadow and it's a nice sunny day. So anyway, he wants to be here and who am to disagree? He's now driving to the airport with his wife to then fly back home. He apologized and asked if he could leave me some pot. Sure. Who am I to disagree?
