"This just in...."

Last Friday, Portland was beautiful. Sunny skies, temps in the 70's. It was a great day to be outside. B and I were meeting some friends downtown for drinks and dinner so I decided to walk from my office across the river to meet them.

This was the view from the Hawthorne bridge, looking down the west side of the river.

You might have started to see a trend with my blog posts so far. I tend to go on and on about the weather. But you see, we Portlanders live for the sun. We plan weekends around 10-day forecasts and climbing trips around weather windows. Since it rains so much and its cloudy most days, when the sun does poke its little face out, we can't seem to get outside fast enough. And, we also can't seem to give the sun enough attention. Notice the "on-location" news truck in this photo.



They were "live, local and on location" to report the breaking news that it was sunny on Friday.

The great thing about this is that it rained the whole weekend. No joke. The entire weekend.
