hi hair
I've been watching your sky on eagle cam be dark and moody all day
but I assumed it was problem with light filter on lens
I'm startin' to see why your State is so green
and your trees are so big
it's a rare day when you don't get at least some rain
I'm astonished by our eaglets
they no longer look like chicks
but like small eagles

btw, sheriff westy did good job with andysmom
her hubby called from chicago yesterday to find out if she was in jail
mercifully she was home and answered the phone
sheriff westy simply quarantined the area

Well, Palo, you have hit upon the secret of the Pacific Northwest...people are under the delusion, that it rains all the time here....now, it does rain here more frequently, than in other areas of the country...in other words, we may have rain on more days, than other places...but the thing is, altho a day may actually be considered a rain day, it may only rain for 1/2 an hour...if the actual rainfall amt per year is looked at, we really get no more rain, than say New York City, or Chicago...we just get it more frequently...

However, since we Washingtonians, really dont want more people moving here, we are happy to let people from other states, live with their delusion that our rainfall per year is so much more than theirs...

And there are areas, like up on the Peninsula, in towns like Sequim, which lie in what is called the 'Banana Belt', who actually get much less rain, than say here in Olympia...

And if you go into the middle of the state, near Yakima, you hit desert...

Now we do probably have more cloudy days, than other areas, but as far as excessive rainfall, thats really a myth...we may get rain every day during the fall, winter, and spring, but it may only be a shower or sprinkle...
