People spend a day in Seattle the one day it's not raining, and then decide that it's a place with great weather. Funny.

In fact, I noticed that all three stadia that I visited had some sort of a means of dealing with rain. Both football stadia had overhangs that shielded the majority of the crowd from the rain, and the baseball stadium had a movable roof. That all three facilities were built with protection from rain says a lot about how much it must rain there. Having said that, the weather was perfect as long as I was there.

Mike's stock in trade is misery. In my short time here I've come to understand that it drives him nuts if anyone enjoys anything. I suppose it's understandable considering the existence of even one shred of happiness would render his career/calling meaningless.

The reality is that as other states suffer from excruciating heat or go day to day with an infrastructure of ice and snow, Seattle is cool, and yes, in winter it rains here instead of snows. Seattle has the mildest weather of anyplace I've lived (Utah, DC, Alaska, Brazil, Ecuador) except Quito, Ecuador.

I have no idea what that means in relation to what we were discussing so I'll just note that it was 33 degrees this morning with a bit of snow on the high peaks. Truly my favorite time of year here in Wyoming.

I think Seattle landscape is gorgeous, and the rest of the place is really scroungy. I keep wondering what it is that Seattle people have against colors and personal hygiene. There seems to be an abundance of way below average looking people who refuse to wear anything brightly colored. I think Seattle is a great place to visit, but for me personally, I'm not cut out to live there. I need the sun, I need color, and I don't believe that there is anything wrong with an occasional haircut, and then actually washing and doing your hair afterwards.
