Back in the early 80s my best friend got hired by the FAA and moved to Seattle and a year later I got hired to work in Burbank, CA. He was always trying to get me to move up there. When I told him that I couldn’t handle the constant grey skies and rain he said “But in summer it’s beautiful here!” I asked him “But what if I have to work that day?!!”
Years later on another visit, during one of those absolutely beautiful days, I said “It’s too bad it’s not like this up here all the time.” His response, “If it was like this up here all the time it wouldn’t be like this up here!” Like they say – no pain, no gain.

That is so true about Seattle! Even solar lawn lights don’t work.

You have to love those eco-friendly electric chairs. Helps protect against climate change.

I like the double dig at liberal Seattle and, well, just Seattle. The only problem is, they wouldn’t execute a prisoner.
