A gorgeous start to Seattle's summer!


Wow, how about an amazing "start" to summer yesterday, with the 4th of July in Seattle seeing no clouds and temperatures in the mid-80's! What a beautiful day! I rode from Edmonds to Kirkland and encountered many others enthused about utilizing the trails on such a beautiful day! It was great to see so many people out enjoying the weather and great to see the weather finally giving in and allowing us a rain-free 4th of July for once! It looks like things are remaining the same for a while now, so summer seems to definitely have bloomed for us here! Usually on the 4th, I like to rationalize that the rain decreases the likelihood of fireworks-related fires, but no need this year! It looks like Seattle might be having one of the best summers right now, compared to a lot of the country. All over Southern Cal are high temperatures, Vegas at 116 degrees (!), Texas is still suffering from heavy rains and flooding, Montana and Colorado with bad heat waves... I think we've got things all right...
