Acquainted with the Blight, Seattle 2007

What's wrong with me?

Someone has labored to make that Seattle picture as yucky as can be managed, and when I look at it I get all...nostalgic. Must have lived there too long.

Well, you are one sick puppy, Freeberg. But we knew that.

The awful truth is that I actually cleaned that shot up to make it better than it was... as it was you could barely see across the street.

As a child in Seattle I learned this little ditty:

Raining, raining, raining all day long.
Not a bird to start a single song.
Dripping down so wet from every tree.
There is too much rain, it seems to me.

All the frogs are croaking, skies are black.
All the ducks are saying "quack, quack, quack."
Raining, raining, raining, please explain,
how there can be so much rain, rain, rain.

How to forecast weather in Seattle.

If you can't see Mt. Rainier, it's raining.
If you can see Mt. Rainier, it's going to rain.

The next time you come to North Carolina bring some rain with you. We are in the worst drought in 75 years.

A family joke (there's a bunch of redheads on my mother's side) runs: "Why are there so many redheads in Seattle? Rust!"

I thought it was illegal to display the US flag in Seattle.
