What? A PNW'r pleading for rain? I thought that you got ample incidence of rainfall ..if not an inordinate amount in inches. I guess one could get into a Gotham City repeating gloom and kinda miss it when it wasn't there. I save my melancholy moods for Autumn, but a daily dose might work too.
We had a recent good bout of multiple cloud burst separated by bright sunshine. It was great for my tomatoes; which this year I had decided not to water ..at all. It appears my tinkering in past years has been responsible for the poor crop.

Don't forget, I'm from the coast of North Carolina, where when it rains, it [censored] well rains.
Here, while there are way more cloudy days, the rain is usually just a drizzle. At least to me.
