Quail, puny mortals!

A great gold fire burns in the sky! Surely our doom is upon us as the flaming meteor plunges towards earth.

News just in, apparently it's the sun, deciding to turn up after several months absence. I have also learned this weekend that sky is not always white or grey-coloured and wet, but can also do blue and dry. It is all very cheering.

I had three clear days of brilliant sun the only time I was ever in Seattle, and I suspect the locals thought someone on the conference - it was INTA - had been practising necromancy. This routine was repeated over and over:

DELEGATE: My God, what an absolutely amazing view, how can any of you ever get any work done with that to look at?
LOCAL: We don't usually get to see it.

Reliable cloud seeding technology cannot come soon enough for western coasts...

"The mountain is out today" is how we say that the weather is exceptionally good. It's like the god Rainier has smiled upon us and consented to show his face, until we anger him once more.

You can get used to good views pretty fast, though. When I lived in Salt Lake, all I had to do was walk ten minutes uphill and I could take postcard-like photos of the surrounding mountains and the lake with no trouble. The result was that after a few months I stopped noticing it (until I had to move -- I missed it then).
