Ready for the Pineapple Express

It's raining cats and dogs and will be for the next couple days.The "Pineapple Express," a common moist weather system that comes in from Hawaii, is chugging through. I got a flat tire and had to hobble to the tire center to get a fix. It was about time to get new tires on the back , anyway. The lines were very long with people having their storm and snow tires installed before those Thanksgiving road trips through snowy passes to be with kith and kin. I wasn't wearing shoes I could walk home in the rain in, so I waited for the work to be completed. I wasn't prepared like this fellow. He could go out in whatever hits the street and be just fine :-). Happy Friday everyone. Tonight I will be meeting our CDPBlogging friend Meead who is in Seattle with a group from his university attending a conference at UW.

SDP on CNN: CNN International interviewed me a few weeks back for the "Local View" feature of their webpage for their program "My City-My Life" featuring Seattle native Quincy Jones. They chose eight photos for a linked gallery and really put together a wonderful site to find out about all things Seattle. (Thanks to Chuck of Almost One a Day who punted to me because he was out of town and knew I love music). The program is airing several times over the next few days. It was fun to learn of Scott, a neighborhood news blogger in the Central District where "Q" grew up, who was also interviewed for the feature.
