The Last Good Weekend
Another weekend of unseasonably warm weather. On sunny weekends from mid-September on, Seattleites proclaim their pessimism with "This is the last nice weekend till next year!" Maybe they're just trying not to jinx themselves for next weekend.
Not wanting to call the locals liars, I spent the last two weekends (each of them beautiful) outdoors. This past weekend I went on a hike to Mount Rainier, the closest active volcano to Seattle (scheduled to erupt sometime in the next hundred-or-so years). In that respect, I guess every weekend we're not covered in volcanic ash is a good one.
