Why did the salmon cross the road?

Yes, that is a salmon making its way across the road.

And yes, badmonkey, it is wet and dreary out here. Hours of darkness and torrential rainfalls have made for a few miserable days. Time to start the Prozac, the official state pharmaceutical.

I know, it is Seattle (almost), so what can you expect? But still, 3.4 inches of rain in one day is unusual enough (thank God) to be the topic of conversation around the water cooler.

I came home last night to find SMH cleaning up our flooded basement, which incidentally has no drain. Happy Birthday to me!

Now, so much to write about -- the weather, the elections, K-Fed filing for a divorce from Britney, my rapid descent into workplace burn-out -- I just don't have time. I have to go watch Dan Rather's election commentary in hopes of gleaning some inspirational similes, though nothing could really beat his classic, "This race is tight like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach," could it?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Because of the elections, I feel like it's my birthday, too!!!!

And it's BRITNEY who's divorcing the federletus--minor point, but important!
