Raven

I hated Seattle the first five years I lived here, having moved from Philly.....

All it did was rain and it was grey all the time...

And, then we moved to the hell they call Georgia....and it was 11 months of that bright yellow thing which scorched my eyeballs and caused my skin to break out in strange eruptions....

Fortunately, hell only lasted three years and we moved back last year.

I noticed something I had not noticed before...and, that was..

Seattle goes through weather changes sixteen times a day....grey....then shades of grey..designers would love the spectrum of colours.....then the sun comes out and then it mists...and then does a little cloudy and the cycle begins again....

In the summer, there is no bluer sky than Seattle...and the mountains and the water......fabulous.....

There are beautiful places all over the world....but...I'm a webmaster....I'm in front of a computer all day....what the hell do I care whether it rains...or drizzles...or pisses, as we call it....

I love it here now. Glad I got a second chance and I've got Mount Rainier pretty much in my back yard...I'm about 40 minutes south of Seattle.
