CH>  Ugh. But isn't it just mostly a mist?

 MG> That's just on the days it decides to take a break...

 CH> Not a real driving sort of deal?

 MG> I wouldn't call it "real driving" in the midst of the driving rain.
 MG> It's more like yachting, hence the term "land yacht"; a term that

 MG> Pontiac Catalinas in Vancouver. Both will rust out just as fast there.

 MG> The last time I visited that city, my aunt's greeting was "welcome to

 At the park along the English Bay (along the seawall between
Granville and Kitsilano) there's a rock with text on it " Vancouver
Rain". I took a picture of it. The text came out really good in the
pic! :) It was fantabulous while we were there and right now3 in our
20th 100 degree day here in the drought struck prarie I wouldn't mind
going back there rain or no...
