Well heck, I have plenty of faults that I freely admit to. My hearing ain't 
one of 'em though. Take my eyesight, please. I'm actually really forgiving 
about lo-fi and distorted organ sound if the playing is exciting. But too 
much upper-midrange really gives me one headache!

Also NYC: More than Seattle. 41-something, I think.
OTOH, this November we have already broken all records for rainfall for any 
month ever recorded here. It's about 12.5" so far and still raining. We DO 
have more drizzly and cloudy days than those other places with more 
rainfall. Strangely enough, there are many many cities with very high 
humidity compared to this place-- almost anywhere on the East Coast or in 
the South. That's why the summers are better than anywhere here. (Don't 
tell anybody.)
