OT joke -- I heard it about Vancouver, but would apply to Seattle or Portland

[Claire Petersky]

An observant woman died one day, and found herself waiting in the long line
for judgment.

As she stood there, she noticed that some souls were allowed to march right
through the pearly gates into heaven. Others, though, were led over to
Satan, who threw them into the burning pit. But every so often, instead of
hurling a poor soul into the fire, Satan would toss a soul into a small pile
off to one side.

After watching Satan do this several times, the woman's curiosity got the
best of her. So she strolled over to find out what the devil he was doing.
"Excuse me, Prince of Darkness," she said. "I'm waiting my turn for
judgment, but I couldn't help wondering, why are you tossing those people
aside instead of flinging them into the fires of hell with the others?"

"Ah, those..." Satan said with a groan. "They're all from Vancouver, they're
too wet to burn!"

heh My rhubarb is thriving. I almost mowed the front lawn
last Sunday but the ground still feels kind of spongy for walking on.

So now we've got clear & cold. But at least there's sunshine.
Lovely, glorious sunshine at last! And a respite from riding
in rain gear (although I still have the helmet cover on.)


cheers,
Tom
