Didn't it make you feel a lot better when you got above the miserable gloomy clouds and saw the sunshine and blue skies?
When I was on the bird heading over to the Gulf back in 1990, one of the stops for several hours was in Belgium at an Air Force base, where it was very gray, cloudy and rainy. Damp and miserable. Once we were high in the air above that crap, there shone the sun and blue skies.
I remember feeling much better, immediately!
