For one, it doesn't rain as much up here as most of the nation thinks. For another, we don't worry about the light drizzles... we play thru it. Sure the heavy rains force some rainouts, but that's expected. If we didn't play thru what we can, we wouldn't have a season.

Hey SRW,

Becareful, if you keep telling Cali folk the truth.....that it doesn't rain as much as everyone thinks...they will continue to flock to the Northwest!!

And the problem would be...what? We need more umps, just like every other association in the country!

The problem would be others would follow. I thoroughly enjoyed myself on a visit to Seattle/Victoria Island a few years back. End of October, but the weather was great and, I agree, the "constant rain" impression is a ruse.

Unfortunately, for Seattle, many of the homeless have also found Seattle enjoyable. Before someone is "offended", let me state that I understand people get down on their luck. However, when you are on a crowded bus downtown, or merely standing on a crowded corner waiting to cross the street (you don't jaywalk in Seattle), the stench of some is just unbelievable.

Gary,

Thanks.
