Remember back in December when I was bitching about the record snowfall that paralyzed the entire city of Seattle? Well, that is just a dim memory. Today, western Washington is the hottest place in the country.
And, just like they did when faced with a solid week of snow, people here are freaking out. There is a citywide run on AC units and fans. People who spend 10 months out of the year bitching about the grey are now begging for rain. One of my coworkers spent Saturday digging a ditch in her backyard so she could have a makeshift pool. This weekend at the Ballard Seafood Festival I saw no fewer than 4 booths selling special equipment to keep cats and dogs from overheating. Seriously people- there are dogs that live in Arizona and Nevada, and they’re fine. Your dog will be fine during our one week of hot weather if you just use common sense.
But the very best example of Seattlites’ complete inability to deal with heat came today in the form of a formal warning from the King County Metro Transit System, in which the public was reminded of ways to deal with the heat, including “taking off your jacket.”
Personally, I’m fine with the heat. I’m as happy as a pig in mud. I would much rather have swampass on the bus ride home than be freezing my ass off for months on end. Go heatwave!
Welcome to the adventures of Aubrey and Michael. We plan on using this blog to keep our family and friends back in California amidst on our new adventure here in Seattle Washington!
