Sunday, one of the ladies in the women’s group was talking about a month-long visit to Seattle. She explained how it always rained and the skies were seldom clear, and yadda-yadda-yadda. I said, “That’s why they call themselves ‘Moss Backs.’”
“What?”

Late getting here. Bad dayz; lotsa stress at home and not fully able to write the promised magazine article in the office. (I can't write in the office.)

Yah, native Washingtonians are called "mossbacks." Live here for a bit in mossland and you'll know why. It also refers to conservatives and may be considered derogatory, but I would take it as a compliment -- as in "I am not a lemming!"
