Life has been grey as of late, according to some. But the rain is something we can all still depend on. It’s predictable comfort.
Refuge found in a restaurant… during a rainstorm.
Beautiful things can be hidden in the varying shades of grey. You just need to look.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

I feel it is somewhat of a tragedy that it took a worldwide pandemic for me to appreciate getting caught in a rainstorm. Before I would have viewed it as an annoyance or a hindrance.
