This Is What I Think.
Thursday, August 11, 2016
My favorite time of year.
In South Carolina I can now visualize myself back there standing out in that beautiful lot I owned and commenting the same and I recall that was around time of the Major League World Series. That one day, I said.
Now I find myself adapting to this new climate after living for fifteen years in that new climate of the Seattle city and suburbs. And now I write this sentence non-contiguously as I think back to those years I lived downtown in Seattle and I sit here now and feel baffled about the things I remember people saying to me back then.
I find myself adapting and into some kind of new kind of patience I have never felt before.
Spokane - not including rainfall - averages 4 *feet* of snowfall per year and that is definitely a new environment for me and for my entire life so far.
A source I just read to confirm some details I had wondered about tells me that Seattle receives only just under 7 inches of snowfall per year on average and 37 inches of rainfall.
I found myself wondering if in the entire time I was growing up in south west Arkansas I saw even as much snowfall that entire time as I saw here in the winter of 2013-2014, the first winter I lived in Eastern Washington State.
And these are Drought Years here on the West Coast.
So now is August.
Summer's not over but I have felt its last gasp.
Summer was great when they used to let me exercise for my triathlon pursuits. I actually wanted to live here in Eastern Washington State to train because the Four Seasons we have here I learned were much better to prepare for than all those thousands of miles of mild weather and non-snake crawling pavement I trained for on the Burke-Gilman trail in the county Seattle is in.
Now, as a prisoner of the Iranian communists in control of the United States of American federal government I must not pursue anything I enjoy in life.
Because they are always watching and waiting where I can't get to them.
And they are very terrified of me.
That watch my every move. They know every item of food I purchase at the grocery store.
