Hello from Seattle!
Long night of flying, plus a long morning of looky-looing around, and now I'm resting up before the night's fun.

24. I still look everytime I go there
I think I'll buy a sailboat and live in a Marina, much cheaper. Elliot Bay would be a good choice I keep telling my self.

I don't want to be too specific publicly, since I'm at someone's home. :)

14. Traffic wasn't so horrible just now.
The rain wasn't that bad either. I'm used to RAIN!!! This was just spittle, for the most part.

33. For the most part
The spittle is all we get up here. Most people don't even acknowledge it until it's splattering. I was wondering if you folks were getting the same stuff we are over in Duvall (that would be BFE, for non-locals).

18. Sorry that it's raining there....
during my visit, it only rained twice at night. I had gorgeous weather and went to the Space Needle on an absolutely clear day....you could see all of Mt. Rainier. Same when I left, and I was in a window seat on the side of the plane that was on the right side for maximal mountain viewing pleasure.

:hi:

Please hoist one for me tomorrow? I'll be hoisting one or two here....

31. This is one trip I'd have rather made under different circumstances.
But, I'll mix in a little frivolity while I'm here.

Edited on Sat Jul-16-05 10:30 AM by GOPisEvil
Well, we celebrated a bit last night. Actually, it was all very tame. Dinner, a few drinks, nothing major.

Communist? Thank you! :toast:

You'll be happy to know that we are having a nice day of slow rain! They say it will last all day!!! Our yards are so very happy right now!

Have a good time in Seattle, that's a great place to visit.

I am so very jealous that you are in Seattle, I love that place!!! I am so glad that you will be enjoying some nice weather too!

Have fun!
