I was born in Seattle and moved to Southern California in about 1960 when I was 6. I had a brother in Victoria( we are immigrants) so after I got married in 1975 , I went back up there to show my new bride where I lived as a kid and to introduce her to my older brother. It is beautiful up there but there is a reason for it. It rains quite a bit and there is a lot of cloudy days where it is damp.
