gloomy enough for you?

It must be Oregon. This time of year is rather moist and dark. I am not complaining. I could probably live someplace else if I really couldn't bear it, but I know that the pay-off in the spring is and summer is pretty nice.

Really, it might be daylight savings time that is more of a pain than the seasonal precipitation. Coming home in the rainy darkness takes a lot more time than the commute on a crisp, clear fall day or even a hot, sweaty summer evening.
