Somehow, my house in Seattle has been in a pocket of rain all day today. It's clear to the South, somewhat clear to the West, and pretty nice to the East.
It seems I'm often in a pocket, or searching for one. Localized weather presents some sort of attraction- be it better winds, less heat, more snow, or different vegetation. So I'm always on a quest for that bit of meadow amongst a tangled forest, or the large flat rock in a scree field, or the sunbelt on a cold, powdery slope.
But when a pocket comes to you, its a bit different. Do you want to escape the pocket, or stay in? Rain outside means a refreshing dripping sound, which while nice for a bit becomes a drone after a few minutes. Sun aplenty is either a nice break if you leave in the PNW, or a constant worry of overexposure and stress if you live elsewhere. So when do you decide to stay, leave, or play hopping games in and out of a pocket of _____? I still don't have the answer....
