You’d think someone who grew up in Seattle and has lived there most of his life would be used to a spot of rain, but it’s been ugly for nearly a week here in Palo Alto, where we live in the winter to escape … rain.
Meanwhile, reports are Seattle is enjoying a spate of weather not unlike what it usually gets the second week of July, which is the historic first week of summer, which lasts a minimum of 22 days.
To comfort our suffering soul we hauled out a video we made a few years back when Seattle was in the midst of a record-setting month-long streak of consecutive soggy days. As bad as it’s been in Cali this week, it’s just a literal drop in the bucket compared to the moist jewel of Puget Sound.
