We broke our streak for this?!

Yesterday it did not rain, breaking Seattle's rainy-day streak at 27 days, 6 short of the record. It was news to me that it didn't rain yesterday, since the whole damn day was just as grey as ever. And today it's right back at it with the relentless precipitation.

I mean, when we were working toward a record, that made it ok that it had rained for nearly 4 weeks straight. We were going to break the record, and then the sun was going to come gloriously out, its beams streaking biblically from the clouds and gloriously marking The End of the Time of Rain. At least that's how I thought about it - ok, still raining, but just 6 more days until we break the record and and move on to the the streaming sunbeams! Now we're just...in the rain. No psychological end in sight, no greater purpose to it all.
