Climate. My arch-nemesis. As a kid I used to see these "Family Christmas" movies and ask my parents what all that strange white stuff was that the kids were building human-resembling sculptures with. Or packing it up into small balls and flinging them at each other. They called it "snow". Well, in winter, we don't have snow, we have rain. Just like spring, summer and fall. In fact, it rains all the time here. Except for the rare occasions when it's just overcast. The most extreme sorts of weather we have here is minor floods, meaning that the people living down by the harbor get all the stuff they keep in their cellars wet. I, on the other hand, live on a hill. The icecaps would have to melt four times over before our cellar gets flooded. Considering the natural disasters I don't have to watch out for, the rain doesn't seem so bad anymore.
