Steve,
Nice talking to you the other day. As others have mentioned, we get our share of rain- some years are worse than others. However, I've never been anyplace else that feels more like home in a short time than this beautiful place. The only reason it is so green here, is because of the rain we get. It also moderates our climate so it stays comfortable most of the year.
Hey, what is the worse that could happen? You might get tired of the weather in about 20 years or so and have to move to Arizona?
Let me know if we can be of any more help. We love living here, despite the minor complaints. - Bob
