Rainy weather

I have family in Southern California. They laugh when I tell them about moss growing on the car windows. I'm not sure they really believe it, especially being able to wash their cars whenever they want. I'd like to trade them some of the drizzle right now for some of their sunshine, just for a while. Like most, we love our drizzle, it is why we live in Oregon.
Thinking about joining the trend toward home windmills. There is probably a city ordinance against them, but outside town, how great to be off the grid that way.
