I'm with you Charles. Winter is my favorite season.

OK Charlie.......is it April 1st already?

Great essay, Charles — although I did giggle at your use of ‘arctic’ to describe Seattle’s mild winter nights. I too used to have the windows wide open on such nights, drinking in the cool, wet air, the soothing sound of the rain, the feeling of loving to live in such a place. Seattle had a great mix: long Winters of short grey days and long, cool rainy nights, alternating with short Summers of long bright days and short, cool, cloudless nights. Sadly, climate change has ruined the Summers, smothering them under palls of wildfire smoke and domes of brutal heat. Thus lacking in balance, the winter weather no longer appealed to me either, and so I departed.

It's so funny that TS has eliminated bylines on the top level. Guess they realize no one would ever knowingly click on Mudede, who for some reason, they continue to endure. Does he, after all these years, know where all the bodies are?

@8 Where did you go? Also looking to get out...

That's because you're SAD.

@10: Originally, Burlington, VT (yep, home of Bernie) then elsewhere. Burlington’s airport has an exhibit on Substance Use Disorder. This exhibit forthrightly describes how it can lead to homelessness, and how the local community proactively addresses it, in order to prevent homelessness. When a local homeless encampment started sprouting below-code firetrap structures and harboring criminals, the city simply removed it. (See, it is possible…)
