Seattle Days

I'm enjoying the week in Seattle visiting my two daughters. It's a nice change of pace from Valley View in many ways. Most notable this year is the weather. Most of the places I have lived (Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas) have used the phrase, "If you don't like the weather, stick around a day, it will change." This phrase is not used in Seattle. The phrase more likely to be used is, "If you don't like the weather, leave. It will be the same tomorrow." Yesterday we were walking in the mist - which is Seattle's version of rain - when my son-in-law commented that he knew what broccoli felt like in the super market. You know, every so often those misting devices come on to keep the produce moist. That is Seattle during the winter and spring and fall. Having endured nature's misting machine for two days now I think it is time for a change. Maybe a dose of sunlight would be good. Here's hoping for a sunny day so you can at least see the Space Needle. What is a visit to Seattle without being able to see the it's historical icon?

By the way trivia - Did you know that Dallas gets more rain annually than Seattle? It just comes in bucket form in Dallas rather than in misting form in Seattle. Uncle Woody's old fashioned Carmel corn cost $6.99 for a 12 ounce bag. It was good but too pricey. It was not good to eat the whole bag at 11:00 PM. Corinne's Carmel corn is much better. I am starting my third day in Seattle and have yet to enter a vehicle of any kind.

It's time to enter the world of Seattle. Hey, it's only partly cloudy today!
