++ Top Ten Things I've Learned about Seattle so far...

10. I FORGOT AT WORK THEY DISABLE TO CAPS LOCK BUTTON SO THAT EVERYTHING YOU TYPE IS IN CAPS. ALWAYS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET LOWER CASE LETTERS IS TO HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT BUTTON WHEN TYPING.
9. "The preferred vehicle in Seattle is a Sports Utility Vehicle, ideally a BMW, Cadillac or Mercedes model. However, under no circumstances should these be
used for anything other than hauling groceries home from the supermarket."
8. There really are Canadians here and do say, "eh." And "soe-rry." For a more precise description of Suburban Seattle Women and Suburban Vancouver Women...

7. Everyone in Seattle is against the war in Iraq. You see it on bumper stickers, on signs taped to windows, in store windows, in house windows, and taped to
baby's foreheads.
6. The Monorail actually has three rails.
5. There are Asians everywhere here. The only place where I've seen more Asians in one place was Asia. The only thing which rivals the amount of Asians here are
the Terriyaki Asian Restaurants.
4. Seattle doesn't rain everyday, its more like someone spraying you with a mist bottle, 24 hours a day, from every direction, and its the cold kind of
mist.
3. Seattle is never clear. Cloudy yes. Partly cloudy, yes. Rain, yes. Mist, constantly. Sun, (I'm not sure they know what that means here.)
2. People in Seattle don't know what 4 seasons are. They only know one, rain. (When it does happen to hit one of the other 3 seasons, everyone runs to the grocery store to stock up on canned foods and water...and first aid kits with bandaids, because they think its a terrorist attack.)
1. Alaskans have 100 words for snow, Egyptians have a 100 words for sand, and Seattle-ans have 2 word for rain, always and wet. ++
