![]() ![]() I actually had the opportunity to buy that magazine for a dollar in 1962 at a used bookstore. The first of these was originally titled “Death by Rain” and appeared in the pulp magazine Planet Stories in an issue published on September 23, 1950, almost one year to the day before I was born.įorgive me for exhibiting a moment of looseness of association. It is on such days that I think of Ray Bradbury, or, to be more precise, two of his stories. It is easy to wonder by the second or third straight day of rain whether the sun will ever be seen again. It was still a bit emotionally wearing, in a seasonal affective disorder way. ![]() I didn’t have any damage, outside or inside. We had several days of those a couple of weeks ago. We sometimes get some spells of heavy, flood-warning rain. ![]() ![]() It rains every few days in Columbus over a period of about six months - April through October - and then we of course get some snow during the rest of the year. I am given to understand that Seattle receives a steady, gentle rain (and a bit of snow in the winter) throughout the year, with precipitation occurring a bit more frequently than every other day. Seattle, which has the reputation of being rainy all of the time, averages thirty-eight inches annually. The Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area where I reside averages forty inches of precipitation per year. ![]()
