It is raining again today in Misawa. The rain just does not want to stop here in Japan! Typhoon season is upon us and the rain just keeps falling. I don’t really mind the rain. Sitting on the back patio with my favorite beverage, legal pad, and Sharpie listening to tunes while the rain taps on the roof is a relaxing way to spend the afternoon. It is in that vein that I present to you my top twenty rain songs! Sit back, let the rain fall, knock back that beverage, and give a listen!
