There’s a saying on Whidbey Island: “If you don’t like the weather, wait 20 minutes, it’ll change.” As I left work Wednesday, it was raining heavier than the usual Pacific Northwest drizzle. I live less than three miles from the office, and by the time I got home, the setting sun was forcing its way through the clouds and creating a pretty cool rainbow.
Sadly, I mentioned this local weather saying before… the last time I took a picture of a rainbow in 2005. I didn’t recall sharing this tidbit until I went looking for the old blog entry to link to. I’ll be 40 this July, and I guess I’m officially middle-aged (read: old) and my memory is failing me.
“Middle-aged” reminds me of calling my Dad on his 50th birthday in 1995. I wished him a happy birthday, and he was like, “Yep, your old man is offically middle-aged.” I jokingly asked him how many people he knew lived to be a hundred. He simply said, “Fuck you, Jim.” And we both laughed. I sure miss my Dad…
By the way, you can see the broke-dick LTD and broke-dick Lumina at the bottom of the picture. See that grass growing around the LTD? Simply excellent. Nice to see my acquired redneckicity shows through so well in digital photography. I keep thinking I’m going to hear something from the landlord about the cars in the driveway.
Like I keep telling ya, it’s not a bona-fide “Redneck Yard”, untill at least one of those cars is up on blocks.
