Ummmm where'd Andy go? What did I miss? You mean there's no more Wapplers on Seattle TV?? That's like the end of an era!
And yes, I'm depressed with the weather too. I have that SAD thing, so winters are hard for me anyway, but having winter extended into summer is downright torture.

It got almost sunny for a bit today. Almost.
I suppose I'm lucky because I travel to warmer places frequently. I am a warm weather weenie though! And I'm a cold weather weenie. I will be a difficult old person, no doubt.
I have a friend with SAD and he's really feeling it right now. It's hard because when he's in it, he kind of sees it but doesn't 100% realize that his feelings are because of that.
We're going to Boston next week and there are days of 90 degree weather with sporadic thunderstorms? ACK! That sounds worse than what we're dealing with right now.

After his father left KIRO in 2002, Wappler succeeded him as chief meteorologist.
Wappler, who left the station on Friday, said that renewable energy is a good fit with his weather background. And, "I was looking to do something new."

a cheaper way to achieve that same effect without increasing your chances of getting skin cancer is a hot bath.

yes, Raleighdon's commute is 20mph winds AND 100% saturated rain. lovely weather. No tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms or high heat.
I drove today I had to pick up his father's day present. (That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!)

Weather and other bike stuff
Stellar 1 here. Member for about a year. Back riding after knee replacement.
Yes, the weather is awful. I rode yesterday with winter gear. I haven't taken the toe warmers off my shoes yet and won't until it gets warmer.
Does anyone know of good bike trails/routes around Ellensberg or near there (easy to get to, ride and return in one day)? I'd be interested as it's pretty easy to go there and ride and return. Except, of course, if there isn't snow on the pass (in mid June, no less). Would appreciate any feedback on this.
Also, has anyone tried a Topeak Allay saddle (allaysaddles.com)? I saw these at the Bike Expo and am vaguely interested in trying one. They have an open center with a fabric covering which should greatly reduce rub and the usual grief associated with long rides. I like aerobars and leaning forward for long periods of time causes some added pressure.
Stellar 1
