I lived in Northern California (Humboldt County) for over 6 years and I really didn't think much about sunny days....there weren't many back then. I remember a month of rain when I first moved to Arcata; I got used to it. Not to say that it wasn't ever sunny, it was, I just didn't think about it much. It was like a special treat when they occured. Then I moved to Boulder, Colorado where there is sun over 300 days of the year. I have gotten used to sunny days, so now when I visit Humboldt I wonder how it never bothered me before? It had been over cast here in Colorado for 5 or so days and I was really needing the sunshine today. The cloud cover broke and it was amazingly beautiful. My expectations have changed.
