Why can't I keep up with this blog? Logistics. When we do something fun, I think, "I'll blog about this," but I can't find the time to write. When I finally do have time to write, we haven't done anything interesting. I will continue to try to write and I hope my faithful and dwindling few followers will hang in there.
Now for an actual blog, albeit short.
Last year was one of the worst years to live in Portland. I know you all think that I exaggerate (I do), but this time I did not. The facts are the facts.
- It was the coldest summer in 17 years. Proof
- We broke numerous monthly rainfall records. Proof
- Those monthly records include the "Wettest June in History." Proof
- We had 50% more rain in 2010 than in 2009. Proof
So for all those "True Portlanders" who kept telling me that all that rain was "normal" and "didn't I know where I was moving," I say, "shove it!" All those records prove that 2010's weather was anything but normal. I have every right to say that 2010's weather was flat out awful, because it was. Let's just hope 2011 holds a real summer because I don't think I can take another "summer" like the last one.
