I've lived here in Oregon all of my life except for a couple of years while I was in the Air Force. Never minded the rain until a couple of years ago. For some reason, it dawned on me that I really didn't have to live under the clouds, so I'm looking at my options now that retirement is approaching. My wife got into a big art show in Scottsdale, so we're going to spend three months there after the first of the year. I guess I'll find out if the dry weather is all my imagination says it should be.
