So if nothing else, the weather is usually fairly predictable here. In winter it never stops raining. In summer, it almost never rains and gets really hot maybe four days a year.
This morning it’s actually raining. And it’s calling for rain all week. While I usually like the rain, and it is true that I did just the other day say I missed the rain, I definitely do not like commuting in it.
When I lived downtown, it was only a 15 minute walk, and I usually managed to stay pretty dry. Now it’s a 40 minute walk from the other side of the river. Or a 10 minute bike ride (which I only recently started doing… Oh yeah, I may have forgotten to mention I bought a bike). Biking in the rain during rush hour = not fun. I am definitely taking the bus this winter.
But on a happer note, only three days until Suz y Q arrive to take pdx by storm! Huzzah!

Yeah, I’ll see what I can do about that.
