NWFlyer 2 #1 November 4, 2005 They're going to take away my "real Seattleite" card. I'm considering using an umbrella to walk down the street to lunch in a few minutes. It's fucking POURING out there. Seriously, it never really "rains" here. It drizzles. It showers. It spits. It mists. But this kind of monsoonal 40 days and 40 nights crap is starting to get to me."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #5 November 4, 2005 QuoteJust order something that delivers and you will stay dry. Alas, if I want the buffet lunch at the Indian restaurant ($5.95!) I have to brave the elements.

Oh yeah, the wind, too. I think I'm going to just zip the raincoat up tight and not bother with the bumbershoot.
