Seatle's November

This is the first blog I've ever written, and attempting this, I don't know who to address, or who my audience is. November has concluded, and it was none to soon. Seattle had a record breaking month, turning the grey and soggy stereotype into a reality. The rain did not cease, lasting longer than it has in Seattle than in any month in history dating back to the beginning of weather record keeping. The good was in how the city came together to celebrate the dreary, but astonishing month. A woman next to me on the bus broke the unspoken rule of pure and utter silence to show me Seattle's rainy picture on the cover of the New York Times. And so it was. My life was immersed this month in the great outdoors, as I traversed the icy, slipper slopes of the Seattle hills to the downtown center where I was temping. It was just a job, and I just a temp. But sometimes it's good to have somewhere to go.
