I think I need to move somewhere on this planet where it is relatively sunny throughout the entire year. I’ve experienced over a week of cloudy skies and almost continuous rain, and it doesn’t seem to be ending until next week. The bad weather is starting to affect my spiritual equilibrium. I need sunlight right now.
Checking the ten-day weather forecast, the most sun I’ll be getting (both in Newark and L’ville) is “partly cloudy” next Monday and Tuesday. This will be followed by storms, cloudiness, and even more rain.
I guess it could be worse. The ten-day forecast for Bermuda contains 8 days of storms and 2 of clouds. Dallas has storms six out of the ten days. It seems San Francisco is the place to go, with eight days of “partly cloudy” and two of “mostly sunny.”
Scientifically speaking, you do need sunlight to maintain your equilibrium. The lack of sunlight affects your sleep patterns, it causes general sluggishness, and will likely make you depressed. The little bit of sunlight I got yesterday morning and this afternoon did me a world of good…
… hence my post. It has begun pouring rain outisde my office and I keep hearing a noise that sounds like a flute playing a low D or so, sampled backwards…
California is calling you! But not San Francisco. It’s too foggy there. Mark Twain and all that.* What you want is the South or East Bay. Close enough to go to all the exciting city things, but out of the Fog Zone.

Sunshine pisses me off. It’s too bright. Man was not meant to need sunglasses. 🙂
Only Dallas has had a week of absolutely gorgeous weather and gentle sunshine, and after the few days of rain in the forecast next week, we are in for a long, hot, dry summer of sun and increasingly oppressive temperatures. So, we’re still not the place to go, but I would recommend the Southern California coast, like Jessa did.
Colorado is nice and toasty this week, except for the thunderstorms that roll in at sunset to cool everything off and make the air smell lovely.
Well, I wasn’t exactly suggesting Southern California, because I don’t like it there 🙂 BUT it is the perfect place to go if you like monotonous sunshine. What I really meant, though, was to go either 20 miles south or east of SF, where you’re close to the city but out of the fog. (It’s only near the mouth of SF Bay that gets really foggy.)
