Washington Day Three
October 15th, 2007Ended the Seattle trip as I always do: no rain. I am still surprised that — having visited the Seattle area almost two dozen times over the last dozen years — I have yet to see it rain. Sure, gotten a barely moist drizzle near the waterfront a few times, but nothing that collected on the ground. Personally, I think it’s just a marketing ploy to keep out Californians. No, really, it rains all the time here. Stay away. You’ll hate it.
Sat across the aisle on the flight home from an attractive six-month-pregnant woman due to have twins. Barely looked three or four months gravid, let alone twin bearing. She was excited to have endured the flight without incident. I mentioned that on my Thursday flight up to Seattle, a woman two rows behind me had had some form of panic attack and medical personnel were brought on board to assist her before the rest of the passengers could disembark. I wasn’t bothered by the delay, and I’m glad my story reflected that. Turns out she was the one who’d been evacuated. We laughed.
