MP3: Carpet People - More bad weather coming out of the rain

We did it - as of today, Olympia Washington has bRoken the RecoRd foR the most consecutive Rainy days in a Row with a gRand total of 34. Obviously that still doesn't compaRe to the teRRible conditions in Ref="https://de.fishki.net/picsn/mail/gRadusniki.jpg" taRget=_blank>some places, but it's still not anything this CalifoRnia tRansplant is used to.

The ideal soundtRack foR a gRey, dReaRy day.
