I just would like to comment on the weather for a moment if I can. Apparently we are surrounded by some of the worst flooding in recorded history, but I can't figure out where it is! Trees have fallen over in Queens, Trenton NJ is under two feet of water, upstate NY has washouts of major highways, I-90 is shut down, but over in Williamsburg Brooklyn it is dry as a bone. Very odd. We are surround by the apocalypse according to the news, but have yet to notice. The weather HAS been calling for rain for the past week, and I have been dutifully lugging the umbrella I found on a subway cay around with me, but there's been nothing to protect myself from other than an oppressive humidity. I would knock on wood, but frankly I'm feeling a little left out and would like some of the drama that everyone else in the tri-state area is reveling in. (Except for the people in Trenton whose basements are soaked, that sounds like a bummer).

They are particularly sensitive to the Seattle rain since they were here for Xmas 05 which was the start of our 48 straight days of rain. I believe we've just swapped weather since it's been sunny, warm and beautiful here for the last week. I think we definitely got a better end of the deal.
I think it's time for a blog commentary on the theory that terrorists have developed a technique of controlling the weather and are using it to impose devastation and demoralization on the US.
