If you grow up in the tropical region where the rains come down no stop, you won’t like the rain. Or, if you happen to walk down the street of Milan, Italy as a traveler while it rains for consecutive three hours and you end up having to buy an umbrella, you don’t like it either. Fortunately, here in Northwest, though there is a long rainy season, I never get tired of it: Rain comes and goes. Rain brings a sea of greens. Rain refreshes the air. Rain keeps our crops growing, and the skiers smile.
