i don't know, man... from what i hear it rains all the time in seattle between about september and march... that hardly sounds like perfect cycling weather. working in the rain sucks, and i don't feel the need to be all tough about it and say i don't mind. i ****ing hate it, actually. it is miserable and i quite dislike it. CMWC 03 was super fun, but i kind of hated the city. and i hate coffee, too. i am cranky!
