Nothing makes a Vancouverite madder than someone saying "it always rains out here".  Well I lived here back in the 60′s and 70′s and I know it doesn’t *always* rain but it comes close some times.  (The above is the view from my balcony at the Richmond Inn).

The flight out here would have been fine except I came down with a migraine headache half way across the country.  A fistful of Advil and a quiet night will hopefully straighten me right out.
