WET DAY--As this calendar week began, it was a pretty doggone wet Sunday. I noticed that while it was certainly raining on Puget Island and Cathlamet, it was absolutely dumping here in West Valley, so while we may not be far apart, miles-wise, we are definitely far apart in rainfall amounts.Sadly, we win in that category by a long shot! While I wasn't overly pleased with all the rain, my cousin in California was quite happy, as it has been dry and hot there for ages. Needless to say, I told her...
Kaiyuan "Kent" Cheng has only been here a couple months, but it's long enough to know he's sold on the weather, and not so much on the food.

The thermometers present high numbers most months of the year in Cheng's home of Nanjing, a few hours outside of Shanghai, China. "It's not very hot here," he said. "I love the cool weather." Still, he's...

WILD ONE--Once again, we've had some nasty weather and it gave some of us yet another opportunity to gauge how ready we are for further winter storms that are sure to come. While I was prepared for a lot worse on Saturday, I was terribly thankful that we didn't get the brunt of the storm, unlike other nearby places, like Portland, which took a pretty hard hit with tens of thousands being left in the dark. Folks being interviewed on the news were terribly unhappy when they had to go over a day without power, and some almost two, but should they...
