It only took a year

to stop being an Ohioan!  Want to know how I came to that conclusion?

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  I'm glare angrily at what I think is my AC unit because it's making noise... noise that sounds like rain.  I realize slowly that number one that noise IS rain and second, there is no AC unit under the window, it's just a window.

It's like I forgot what real rain sounds like when it falls from the sky!
