Subject: RE: It's Raining
Well, will wonders never cease!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

This is a oblique way of saying that I woke up this mornin and it's not raining!. "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" is also a reference to a long running children's television program that was/is based in my adopted hometown, Pittsburgh, PA. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is the name of that program.

I've read that Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has more rainy days per year than any other US city, except, maybe Seattle, Washington. I gather from reading Flash Company's 24 Jun 08 - 10:40 AM post that Glastonbury in the UK also has a lot of rainy days.

I'm curious, where is Glastonbury in relation to London,or some other part of the UK that a geographically challenged American like me would probably have heard of?

Thanks in advance for that info.
