That does make me grin a bit. Several years ago I went to stay with friends
in Vancouver one summer and one weekend it just chucked it down - stair rods
weren't in it! My friend said to me "There's a pow wow on this w/e, would
you like to go?" So we did and it was *fantastic*. I've never seen or
heard such abandoned singing, dancing and ululation - but it was indoors
because of the rain....
