    After spending considerable time in Beavorton and Seattle, I know those to be certainly true.

    Now where are the real jokes about the "NW women?" ;)

    The weathermen use the same icon everyday from November 1 to June 30th.

    You know, the one with half a sun on top, a little cloud below that and some sprinkles below that!!

    Reminds me of something by George Carlin, "Patchy morning lightness breaking into full day some time after noon with increasing areas of darkness around dinner time..............." or something to that effect..........
