Will I Melt.... ?

I'm SO ready for a little break from the rat race tomorrow, when I'll be flying up to Seattle, the "Emerald City" for a long weekend. It will be fun to see a bunch of LJ friends, such as bear_left, shirtlifterbear, wrascalbc, and quirkstreet, to name a few. First up will be a BSG-athon on Friday night at a friend of shirtlifterbear's place (sadly, my hotel doesn't have SciFi), then, I imagine there will some toursity things to be done in downtown Seattle, and a trip out to Snoqualmie Falls. No doubt there will be other things on the agenda

But - it looks like Seattle will live up to its reputation of being, shall we say, a little 'moist' - oh, well. But, it's going to be hard to leave our lovely San Diego weather:

In other news, yesterday I took my staff to lunch at the lovely Bertrand at Mr. A's, which has beautiful views of downtown San Diego as well as terrific food and service. One of my staff is about a week away from giving birth, so this was a great way to celebrate.

Here's my dessert - I was a bad boy...

You're going to be warmer than San Diego for a few days - that's just not right! ;-)

The part of the U.S. from Colorado Springs north/northeast to Rapid City is proof that climate change is underway. Perhaps the combination of altitude and distance from an ocean "helps", but whatever the cause summers are noticeably hotter.

When I was a kid in Rapid and Denver in the '60s and '70s, highs above 90F happened mostly in August and early September. Now, they can and do happen in Denver starting in late May, with long stretches in late June through mid-September. Rapid City is a bit cooler but not much.

Geoff, I don'r know what your experience has been but this was a common conversation topic among long-timers when I lived in Denver.
