   Gammaguy is mistaken. Seattle is not in any rain shadow; Puget Sound (a huge estuary) is between it and The Olympics. Monroe does get slightly more rain per year than Seattle (51" avg to around 40") but the city known for being in the Rain Shadow is Sequim (pronounced squim) which gets about 15" per year. [NOTE: the rain that doesn’t fall on Sequim lands in the nearby Hoh Rainforest, which gets up to 160" per year. My Boy Scout troop used to go there; the flora were amazing!]

   Um, Jason? You know we all love you, but how can you believe vampires are real? Vampire bats, yes — but not Bela Lugosi-style undead bloodsucking hominids.

   Sigh…mayonnaise jars used to fear me, but since I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, they just snicker. I need you, saylorgirl!

   Horace going over the hill reminds me of when I was so depressed, I threatened to throw myself over a cliff…but it was just a bluff.

   Yup. We have grunge, dung, and confusion here. Quite deep.

    We had a good example. My parents were on their honeymoon 57 years until Mom hit the finish line; best marriage I ever saw. [NOTE: if you tell your flight attendant you’re on your honeymoon, you’re almost guaranteed free champagne.]
