The weather in Seattle last weekend was spectacular. Cloudless skies. Very un-Seattle-like, especially for early May. Beautiful, memorable sunrises over Mount Rainier were the prominent news stories.
So Flo and I decided to view what was being touted as the opportunity of a lifetime. Tuesday was our last morning in Seattle and we were up at five a.m. to walk over to a promenade from which the majestic snow-capped volcano could be seen to the east of the Seattle skyline.
As we walked to the promenade near the Public Market on Tuesday morning it became clear that this morning, unlike the four previous mornings and the forecast for this morning, the weather was very Seattle-like.
There's an aphorism: “Man plans and God laughs.”
