I am being teased
I have lived my entire life in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. My employer transfered me to the NorthEast coast a few months ago, where I have never even visited. I find that it is absolutely beautiful out here, with vegetation in amazing abundance. But the weather !! OMG I am having culture shock with this weather. I didn't even own an umbrella when I got here, and the first three I purchased I broke while I figured out that you are supposed to keep them pointing _towards_ the wind.
So a very talented friend is teasing me by making that silly avatar of me being grumpy in the rain.
