Switch to Rain

We’ve had several glorious sunny days. On Friday, Mom and I ran some errands, and spent about an hour sitting down by the beach. Saturday – another glorious day, hot and sunny. Sunday morning – oooohhhh, there’s a change. There’s a wind blowing. Around ten, it starts raining, and then – raining and blowing.

On my way to my Mom’s, I am in a parking lot and the place is JAMMED. In Seattle, if it’s raining, it’s shopping weather! All those empty stores, now full of shoppers. It’s a shock.

In front of Babies are Us, a totally disgusting, very non-Seattle sight:

Here is a very Seattle-style bumper sticker:

  4. Love the bumper sticker….I think I’ll put one like it on my car here in Doha where I have, on occasion, noticed “aggressive driving” 🙂

  6. Shopping weather? not for me… when its raining, there is nothing like a good book and my favorite blanket.

  7. Mimfoy – I am so unused to the rain that the same thing happened to me – when it would rain, I would feel sleepy. The white noise was somehow so comforting, I just wanted to take a nap!
