OK, maybe not, but for the last week the weather-guessers have been screaming it was going to 90 some-odd degrees and sunny starting yesterday and continuing through the weekend.
We got to the low 80’s. Each news channel started their news cast with 10-12 minutes of the low-reporter on the totem pole wandering around talking to pasty mo-fo’s at the beach or the park or the Safeway, talking about how hot it was.
You know, we didn’t crack 60 degrees until mid-April. Prior to that, our last 60+ degree day was in first week of October. We didn’t hit 70+ until the weekend of Boomershoot. To find another 70 degree day prior, you had to go back to mid-September.
And this, this is why Seattlites are some of the dumbest bastards to call the U.S. home: It’s 1 o’clock in the morning, I’m getting some lunch and I see a Mustang convertible driving down the street in front of the restaurant with the top down and four very cold dumb bastards inside dressed like Kenny from South Park.
1AM, Parka’d up like Sir Edmund Hillary because it’s 50 degrees out, but damn it, they’ve got the top down on their convertible. Spent the extra $5K for that soft top, and by gawd, they’re gonna keep it down until rain starts to fall.
And they get to vote like sane people do. No wonder this state went for Obama.
