"I left the state when it was in drought and on fire, so I absolutely love the rain". And seriously. I mean it.
My favorite link right now is the weather in Seattle. It's an El Nino year not seen since 1997, and I am so excited I just can't hide it. Halfway through December has already had more precipitation than average. Bless.
The more I think about living up here in the PNW (that's the way only Californians like me refer to the Pacific Northwest), the more sustainable it really is. I take a long, hot, guilt-free shower without turning it on/off navy-style in the way that just was never thinkable in California. Which leads me to my theory....
