This weekend it was 86-88 F outside (and inside), perfectly clear and sunny. Absolutely beautiful day, I felt fantastic! Seriously, I haven’t felt that happy and blissful in a while. Clear, warm night too, could see the stars from my balcony. Today, it instantly turned .. October. Low hanging grey clouds, and everything is wet. […]

Holy shit the weather is finally WARM. We finally broke 70 F! I was at Alki Beach on Saturday afternoon and managed to properly sunburn my face. It was fantastic sitting on the sand, tons of people and cute girls wandering about. Today is the first time I’ve ever been able to go all day […]

The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the days are longer FINALLY, thank god. A couple of weekends ago it was ~60 F, clear and sunny. There were even girls in bikini playing volleyball on Alki Beach! (How 60 F is bikini weather is beyond me.) I’ve been so weather abused and tortured throughout […]
