That woman has a tan and sunglasses, so she probably was flown in from

somewhere else. �



Two odd things about Seattle. We are one of the leading markets for

sunglasses. We buy more of them, on a per capita basis, than most

cities in the United States. Why would that be? Usually works like

this; when the sun comes out we yell "oh no, my eyes! my eyes! I can't

stand the bright light!" and we rush out and buy a pair of

sunglasses. When the sun comes out again, we have forgotten where we

put the pair we bought on the last sunny day, 7 or 8 months ago. What

we don't buy in big numbers? Umbrellas.



I have 4 pairs of sunglasses and wear them often. I think our NW eyes

have adjusted to the low light environment, so when the sun comes out

or even when it's bright, it's a bit too much excitement for the eyes.

Another thing..except for midsummer, it seems that the sun, when it is out, is always in your eyes. I always wear a cap/hat with a bill for relief from this situation.


Oh you fashionista, you.

I'm eager to see what's up. Even with boat prices depressed, moorage
and fuel still commanding high prices in Seattle. Next boat is diesel
for sure.

Will keep an eye peeled for you around the Nor'west booth.
