rain aint sunshine

i know one isn't suppose to say aint but when it comes to days that are rainy, dreary, and overcast, with what passes for daylight at 7 am and dark at 4 pm, what else can one say other than it aint suppose to be that way.  or so some say.

i read that vitamin d is what everyone needs (in case you haven't heard it is the new rage med). well here in the pacific northwest you will not get vitamin d unless from a bottle or blue ray ultra light lamp, at least during the winter months.  okay, well most of the year, excepting maybe july and august.

some folks say this lousy weather trends to really get them down, but not me.  i actually like it. it is good for my allergies, as rain keeps things out of the air; and, good for my skin cancer issues -- obviously.  also, i am a "brit-o-phile", liking all things british, including tea and scones, etc.; and the weather is truly tea drinking conducive.  so, in the words of that "mad" man of immortal wisdom, "what me worry," or should i say complain? heck no, i actually like the rain, but then again, each to her own thing. 

now in namibia maybe there can be too much of a good thing, if sun is your thing.
