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.

Because you are already soaked? The few people I know in the Seattle
area seem to like it a lot.

You learn to dress for the weather up here but there's still times
that umbrellas come in handy. We own a couple.

Funny. We have a few neighbors here in Florida from the Seattle area
and they confirm your humor rumor as true. How depressing. We
enjoyed our brief stay a few years ago, but I guess we caught the
weather just right.

Seattle has about half the days of clear, sunny weather as, say,
Baltimore or Washington, D.C., and, of course, you can't really swim in
the waters there. But Seattle is a nice place. I've never understood,
though, why pleasure boating is so popular up there. Fishing I can
understand, lots of interesting fish, but boating for the sake of
boating, when you get frostbite if you get ocean splash on you?

The shear beauty of the area.
