dampened spirits

I read once Lansing came a close second to Seattle for cloudiest city in America. This was the odd sort of trivia that comes up in barchats and although not a point of pride, at least I knew something about my hometown if not the population size or name of my senator.

But after much research, I've found every po-dunk town in Scotland is far and away grayer and wetter.

Now it feels like Lansing won the runner-up honorable mention ribbon at the Rain Olympics. Will we never be rid of the" gimpy kid of capitals" image?
