The kids are older now, but my wife and her sister still talk on the
telephone every week. The standing joke in the old days was that my
wife would say that something (usually a kid's soccer game) was delayed
due to rain. Her sister would laugh, and say that around Seattle, where
they lived, that they would never play any games if they delayed them
for a little rain.

We probably wouldn't grill in the rain during the summer here. Then
again, our average rainfall for the month of July is .01 inch.
