For the past week, we’ve had gorgeous high-70’s to low-80’s sunshine throughout Seattle, with more predicted through the weekend and on into next week.
So how come I woke up to grey skies, rain, and “possible thunderstorms,” according to Weather Underground? Some fool must have gotten the urge to wash his car yesterday. Everybody knows that that’s the surest way to bring on a sudden burst of rain!
Ah, well…I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for the weekend. This weekend’s the Bite of Seattle food festival, so I’ll likely be wandering around the Seattle Center for much of the weekend, camera in hand. As long as nothing unexpected crops up, I should be out at the Vogue on Saturday night, too — things have been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to get out dancing as often as I like, but I need to get some bouncing in when I can.
And to close (for the moment, at least), a shot I took yesterday at Westlake Plaza of people camped out in the sun on their lunch break.
Don’t blame me – we were going to take the car to the Elephant Car Wash this morning and then wander over to The Bite. Guess we’ll just sit around inside and watch The Three Stooges in ORbit some more instead.
Hmm, maybe I’m to blame. I didn’t wash my car, but I did clean and lube my bicycle chain last night with the intention of riding to work this morning. Those plans fell through when I saw the blackness and rain this morning. I am truly a fairweather cyclist (especially since I don’t have a fender for my bike).
Wow. Sounds like tropical weather – the kind we get daily and year-round. Nevermind – just look forward to tomorrow instead. ;-)
Yeah, but you miss the mischievous climate BAD when you move away :(
Nowhere else in the world does the weather have that “Heh, gotcha cheeky grin” attitude.
