Welcome to the Northwest:

It’s 70 deg F outside (hot for here) the sun is shinning and it’s raining. This is the northwest for you. It was dark and drizzling when I went to lunch, sunny and hot when I came back. It was beautiful today for about 2 hours. It’s the unpredictability of the area that spawns the creative genius that oozes out of every tree, leaf, and gutter up here. Genius like Bob Whittsitt, Gordon Smith, and String Cheese Incident (well, 1 out of 3 isn’t too bad). Enough said, I wish it would stop dripping long enough for me to walk my dog.
