years! And still not broken!

I don't remember August 1960 as such (too much fun outside to care
what month it was). But it /is/ a reminder that it really /can/ rain
at any time in Seattle!

I'm in Vancouver (about 120 miles directly north of Seattle) and by
comparison Seattle is desert-like by comparison.

And it looks like the first 9 days of September are going to be dry
and sunny. And mid-70s mostly. Excellent Summer weather.

This may be one of those years when I don't turn the furnace on until
October!

Yeah - my daughter took a week off work last week to catch the last
warm days of summer. It was warm enough last week though it rained at
least 5 days of her week.....
