In Seattle, Spring died. We're all going through our stages of grief.

Today is the first day of summer. You wouldn't know it by looking outside.

We had a very mild winter-- rainy, mostly, but never terribly cold. Then came March, and that one beautiful week when we were able to go about in shirtsleeves. After that, one absolutely bitter week of freezing cold, and then more winter. Rain, temperatures in the mid-40s.

Today is the first day of summer, and we haven't had more than one or two days of sunlight occasionally punctuating weeks of rain, clouds, and miserable cold. We never had a spring at all, just a miserable continuation of the winter season.

It's beginning to get to everyone. I'd bet that some people are in rage, but most of us are in depression, and until the sun actually comes out acceptance just is never going to be part of the mix.

It's been cold and wet in Eugene, too, except for a couple of sunny days. Today there's this big yellow thing in the sky, can't imagine what it's doing there all by itself.
