As I'm sure you all know, yeterday, here in Seattle, we got inundated by snow. Today we got rain -- which turned all that snow into slimy slush. Rumor heard at Northgate Transit Center: lady was out jogging yesterday morning wearing only a white tank top, skimpy red shorts, and jogging shoes. At 7 a.m. . . .
