Sunny in Seattle

It's a well-established cliche that people who live in Seattle try to keep an unwanted influx of people moving here by perpetuating the story that it constantly rains here. From what I understand, the whole rain-for-many-consecutive-days-on-end thing is true, but that's during the winter and spring. (For a native New Englander like myself, any definition of "winter" where rain is the worst precipitation is a whole new world.)

I might be breaking the Seattle resident's code of conduct here, but the weather right now is spectacular. Apparently, it rarely rains from 4th of July until September. And, the best part? Virtually no humidity. Just sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Combine this with my work-at-home status, and let's just say I'm getting a bit of Sun while the house and yard are quiet with the kids at their swimming lessons. There are worse situations to be in, to put it mildly.
