Hello Mom! I Love Seattle...
August 23rd
Just moved to Seattle. Lovely weather, about 75 degrees, no clouds,
beautiful trees and mountains especially, Mt. Rainier. PugetSound...how
cool is that. I wonder how everything stays so green even in the summer??
People here are sure lucky to have such a beautiful outdoors to play in.
Only 50 miles to the mountains and 70 to the sea. I love it here.
August 25th
Drove out to the mountains yesterday. It took 2.5 hours just to get to
the top of the pass? I wonder why traffic was so heavy? It was barely
moving. When I got to the other side it was even slower because of road
construction. Sure was pretty though, another beautiful day, even though
I spent the better part of it in the car. Next time I'll make sure to
leave earlier so I can miss the traffic. Also remember not to stop in
North Bend for gas it took like an hour???
August 26th
What happened to the nice weather? Gosh it's cold! Only about 54 degrees,
yesterday it was 84. These clouds are very low and gray it sure looks
like its going to rain. I was going to wash the car and mow the lawn but
I better not if it's going to rain.
August 27th
Weather is the same as yesterday. Very gray and depressing but it's not
raining so I'll wash the car and mow the lawn today. The weather man says
it's going to be sunny tomorrow. I think I'll play some golf.
August 28th
Pouring down rain. Cold. Kind of pissed off because I spent 4.5 hours
washing and waxing my black car because the weather man said it was going
to be sunny today. Not to mention I shelled out $150.00 to play this
fancy golf course and it poured down rain the whole time. Boy the weather
man kind of missed that one. I'll bet he feels dumb.
September 28th
Geez except for those few days at the beginning of September it's rained
almost every day. Must be the rainy season in
Seattle. Oh well it keeps the reservoirs full and the trees green.
Looking forward to those crisp clear fall days and football season!!
October 31st
Halloween. Cold as hell and raining. Poor kids, that's not much fun
trick or treating in that weather. All their little costumes getting
ruined. The weather man said it was going to be clear and crisp for the
trick or treater's?? This guy seems to be wrong a lot in his forecasts.
He's probably not a weather man at all. His Dad must be some big wig and
got him the job. I'll going to watch another station with a real
weatherman.
November 1st
At home with my knee elevated. Doctors orders. Pulled the ligaments
really bad chasing down some little bastards that smashed my pumpkins.
Boy a wooden deck with Thompson's watersealer on it is slicker than snot
when it's wet. Still raining. My knee is killing me. I can still hear
those kids laughing.
November 28th
Does it rain every freaking day here!! It sure seems like it. You wanna
know cold. Try 40 degrees with rain being blown into you at 15 miles an
hour. Burr!! People always talk about the beautiful mountains here. Well
I haven't seen them in at least a month. And why are people so afraid of
driving in the rain!! Let's go!!! The forecast calls for some sun though
so I'll get some yard work done this weekend.
November 30th
Rained all weekend but now its sunny... Allright!!!...Finally!!! Sure
feels good to feel the sun on your face again. Now I remember why I like
this place so much. It's almost December and it's 54 degrees and sunny.
I think I'll wash the car.
Weatherman says this high pressure system should stay with us for awhile
and push this system well to the north of us.
December 1st
Fu__ing raining again. I just washed the Fu__ing car!! What is the deal
with these weathermen. They're wrong every Fu__ing time!!! They are
blaming offshore flow for kicking this system a little south and into our
region. Whatever. Pardon my French but the Rain!!!
December 25th
Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Fu__ing raining again. Merry Fu__ing Christmas.
February 1st
Ha Ha!!! It's day 62 of constant rain. I threw my milkshake at some
son-of-a-bitch on the freeway this morning. Cut me off will you. Doubt
it!! Too bad it's raining because it cleaned the milkshake off his car.
Oh well he got the message. Can't let people mess with you on the road.
You better take your openings when you can or they will walk all over you.
Why do people drive so slow in the rain!!! What are they afraid of. It
rains here every day!!!!! How are you supposed to enjoy the beautiful
outdoors?
February 3rd
Man it's beautiful outside. It's like 60 degrees and sunny. Sweet
weather for February. I'm just going to enjoy it. I'm not going to jinx
it either by washing my car. No sir!! Boy it's pretty here. The snow
covered mountains, crystal blue water, big green trees. Think I'll head
up to the mountains.
February 4th
That was by far the worst traffic I have encountered on the pass yet.
Every Idiot and grandmother was on the road yesterday. "Hey look it's
sunny lets all get in the car. . . . . . . . . . "
February 8th
Geez it's still sunny. It feels like spring. Birds are chirping, flowers
are blooming. It sure is a nice place to live. I
guess it doesn't rain that much. Gosh it's a beautiful day, I think I'll
wash the car.
February 9th
I KNEW IF I WASHED THE CAR IT WOULD START
RAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F___!!! I hate it here.
March 1st
We are having a wicked storm. 50mph winds. Trees down. Powers out.
Cable is out. (why does the cable always go out when the wind blows if it
is cable in the ground. ) What is this day 21 or 22 of straight rain.
How high are those clouds off the ground, 50 feet?!
April 1st
I guess this is the only state where no one knows the "fast lane" rule.
Weather man says rain for at least the next two weeks, and he said it with
a big goofy smile. That's not funny, not funny at all.
April 12th
84 DEGREES!!!! Wow, it's beautiful here. It was a nasty winter but spring
is finally here!! If we have springs and summer like this I guess I can
take a little rain in the winter. What a place!
April 30th
Eleventh straight day of rain. Cold too, about 50 degrees. I thought
spring was here. That's what you get for thinking. I would like to meet
up with this weather clown someday. " I like the rain" he says.
Smack!!
May 20th
Big surprise!! Still raining!! How many ways do these idiot weather men
have for describing rain. Showers, partial showers, slight showers,
increasing showers, decreasing showers, heavy showers, light showers,
partial showers with areas of heavy downfall, mild
showers........yadda, yadda, yadda.
June 21
The first day of summer!!! Raining!!! 54 degrees. My car is starting to
smell like mildew, it been wet for the last 6 months. I think I'm
starting to get webbed feet. The commute was only 15 hours today...Joy!
Oh well I have the big fourth of July picnic to look forward to. Some
cold beers in the hot sun, can't wait.
July 4th
Not having too much fun. I forgot my coat and am freezing my ass off. I
don't know exactly what we are experiencing here, I think it's just plain
old showers, but maybe it's partial showers with periods of rain. No
problem keeping the beer cold though. I have a project for next weekend:
cleaning the beans and potato salad ou t of my car. I had to eat in my car
because all the trees were taken and I had to get out of the rain. I hate
it here.
July 28th
Cloudy and cool. But it's not raining. Thank God it's not hot!! Who
would want it hot in the summer?? I figured out what people do here for
fun. "hey honey get the kids...lets get in the car and sit in traffic!!!"
August 14th
Exchanged gunfire on the road today. He appeared prepared for gunfire but
wasn't ready for the ramming. The 750 lb. iron bar attached to the front
of my Porsche looks a little weird but it works!! A little tap on these
wet roads and he was in the ditch.
August 24th
Got out of jail this morning. Had to get a ride home as my license has
been taken away. What's this...sunshine... 80 degrees. Guess summer is
here? What a beautiful day. It's so pretty with the mountains and the
water and the trees...................
