Mary, You don't have to take that from a hillbilly. For instance, Seattle doesn't even rank in the top 25 major cities in the US as far as rainfall goes (it's 44th). But don't expect a hillbilly to know that. Matter of fact it get less than New York City. You remember NY don't ya, Frank? Or has too much mountain dew burned out those brain cells from the past?
