An apology

I feel that I need to issue an apology to the rest of the United States. 

We are going to have a lovely next few days - in fact we will probably get enough heat here that we Seattle hothouse pansies will be whining about it. (In fact at 11:30 and 75°, Jane and I are already seeking shade - guilty as charged.)

But apparently to do this we have to absolutely cook the rest of you.

Sorry.
