It's about 11:00 pm and I just got back from a nice long cruise with the wife. Had to wait this late before we could put the top down 'cause it's still 94 degrees out there.
See the picture of Rich's place at Xmas time? That's what it's like.....all the time.
Z-man, you're right. Everybody has A/C in their homes here. We'd die without it. Utility bills aren't that bad. Think of it this way: When it's snowing in the mid-west in December nobody stands out in their front yards and feezes. They're in their nice heated houses or cars or offices. It's the same here, we're just in our air conditioned houses, cars or offices. Heating bill in the winter is almost nil 'cause winter is in the 70's.
BLUSHARK & rdog, I feel your pain guys....I'm a Queen Anne Hill native and Ballard, Edmonds, 1st Ave. in Seattle, North Bend and even Bellingham too! I know it's the 2nd of June so there was a pretty good chance it was raining
Sorry my wet Bro's but hang in there, those 3 or 4 sunny days in August are just around the corner!

50-55 is the temp. Not too bad if it would just stop rainin...

So far it's been nice here. Since I got the car in March I've had about 10 opportunities to drive her, and haven't passed one of them up. You know how it is. 38 straight days of rain sometimes. Gotta enjoy the good days when they come.
