Ugh...

When you've had at least 31 consecutive days of rain (I talked to a guy/farmer today who said it was actually 33), you don't do much.

You don't go outside much.

You don't see the sun much.

You don't blog much.

You know when the last time South-Central Alaska had 31 (or 33) consecutive days of rain?

NEVER!!

The last record was 27 consecutive days in 1951.

We are now officially the 7th coldest summer on record.

2008 was the 2nd coldest summer on record.

Two out of our last three years are in the Top Ten for coldest summer's in Alaska.

And...we've had 31 (or 33) consecutive days of rain.

I AM SO READY TO MOVE!!

You don't do much with 31 (or 33) consecutive days of rain.

Did I mention we've had 31 (or 33) consecutive days of rain?



FYI...We did NOT have any rain today!! We had a FULL day of sun! The first time in 31 (or 33) days!!! Hallelujah!!! Maybe now I'll start blogging. :)

Well, if you want sun and heat the Seattle area has been the place to be. For the first 3 days we were here it was in the high 90's!! Kicked my butt, cause we had just come from the record cold summer in Alaska!! Acting a little more like Seattle now....clouds and cooler temps.

This whole global warming thing is killing me. I can't stand all the heat. Oh wait. It was an unusually cold spring, and summer here to. Hummmm. maybe someone made all that up so they could make a lot of money, and win a Nobel Prize. Two people I really admire just won those. Oh wait. two people I think are absolute morons won those. If I were someone who won one of those. I think I would hide it now. Now what was I talking about. Oh yea global warming. Man it sure is hot here. Oh wait its supposed to be 73 degrees tomorrow. IN AUGUST.........Morons.
