Friday, May 10, 2013 1:42 A.M. Good morning everybody! The weather outside today is wonderful… much better than that dreadful weather we had Monday. “Dreadful?,” you might ask? Dreadful. At least for me. At some time during autumn 2012, I decided that I was no longer going to wear shorts (excepting formal occasions, like weddings […]
Sunshine As Far As The Models Can Calculate
Saturday, September 15, 2012 9:56 P.M. If you don’t recognize this sun, you obviously missed out on some great children’s ‘tele’vision shows Folks, I have never seen Seattle be as dry for as long as it has been this past year. And although I’m only 19 years old, I bet many older folks can’t remember […]
It’s Thursday, Thursday.
