Around Puget Sound it's not unusual to go without a sunny weekend until the Fourth of July, so this summer is not exceptional. The sun did come out for the holiday weekend, though, and I spent enough time riding my bike to end up with an interesting new assortment of tan-lines. My skin tones now range from blue-veined mushroom-white through various shades of tawny to hot-pink.
Today I had to run some job-search-related errands by bus and foot. When I saw bright sun and blue skies at eight in the morning, I decided to leave my bike at home so I wouldn't get too dusty, sweaty and rumpled on the way to my appointments. I had to dig through my wardrobe a bit to find clothes that would be more or less presentable to potential employers yet comfortable for walking around town. To my relief, when I got to the bus stop, a digital sign outside the bank across the street showed the temperature at 70F, tolerable even to a native mushroom like me.
