It must be really odd to live someplace where rain in July is unusual enough to be worthy of an incredulous LJ entry. Here in Boston, we've had 13.4" of rain since June 1, which is 7.5" over the "normal" amount for this particular 2-month period.
It was definitely odd for this East Coast girl to get used to. The first year I was here I was on a volunteer committee planning a big outdoors event. I raised the obvious question of what to do in case of rain. They all just looked at me. They didn't even laugh, they just looked.
The thing that gets me in a subtler way, though, is the lack of winter. Somewhere in my subconscious I still think I'm twenty-three, because obviously a full year has not yet passed since I moved here.
Ah, well, maybe that explains why I'm getting younger (http://dawnd.livejournal.com/242172.html)! I've only lived 3/4 of the years since arriving in 1977. :^D
