news from the other Washington, about this one

washingtonpost.com: SAD Reflects a Season of Drizzle and a Day of Defeat:

It has been a SAD week in Seattle, city of rain, darkness, caffeine, secularism and an 82 percent majority that voted in vain to fire President Bush.

Interestingly, Seattle ranks as the fittest city in the US and the capital of the least (officially) religious “with a quarter of the population reporting no church identification.” Of course, the president has no church affiliation, either, so we’re no less religious than he is.

We’ll survive: if you can handle the winters here, man-made gloom is manageable.
