I haven't been downtown at Christmas in years and years. I've never seen those guys, but I'd sure love to -- and I'd stand there and clap along and not just hurry by -- Seattle Freeze. I remember the guys with the steel drums by Nordstrom every year. When I lived in NC I called Nordstrom to see if they knew anything about them so I could maybe get a CD (I was terribly homesick) but they didn't know who I was talking about.

And look at that snow at Gasworks! Not this year, sadly.

Merry Christmas, freshwest!

The wind is howling and the rain is hitting the glass, I'm so blessed to have a place to live.

They refresh and there are several views above the picture there. My favorite if Franklin Falls.

Thanks for the Christmas wishes! Here's the ubiquitous snow scene I've been posting. It's the most beautiful fantasy to me:
