Aaaaaand now the sky's telling the truth.

Sky gods, much as I appreciate the break from the Humidity (OMG), perhaps you could have seen fit to inform the poor remains of the Amtrak gods?

Or, more specifically, I wish to register a complaint about having to lurk in the bathtub for over an hour so I could actually feel all of my toes. And fingers.* While this was not assisted by the fact that I had a sweater for insulation and ballet flats for ... well, being awesome, but oy, that rail car was COLD.


The weather. It is whacky lately. New transplants are boggling at the humidity. (Also the vehemence with which older transplants are EEEE WIND!

Ahem. My back yard is throwing apples at the house. :D

Anyway! The vehemence with which older transplants sing the praises of hats, full spectrum lights and Gore-Tec.)

You can tell it's fall. :D



*: Well, as much as I ever feel all of my fingers.

I would like to complain about the humidity. AGAIN. I dressed in rainworthy gear (wool peacoat, wool hat) and was quite comfortable being rained on, and then I caught a bus. A bus that was like unto a sauna. If I could have stripped completely I still would have been warm.

Thankfully I do not often take buses for very long; that was the bus that goes over the Lionsgate just to see how it went. The Seabus and Skytrain do not suffer from this greenhouse effect.

Oh. You hadn't run into the bus effect yet. Sorry! That's a side effect of people who have been getting rained on in the cold coming into a confined warmer space. You can get the side windows almost completely fogged up. >.>

Oh yes, THEY WERE.

The Seattle response is to crack open the vent windows so the steam has somewhere to go. But Seattle doesn't exactly have the skytrain option. :)

Our buses do not allow this strange thing you speak of, opening a window. Neither do the trains. This is quite an odd practice in a climate which closely matches that of Cairo Egypt (seriously, it does) and where you could use the trapped infrared bouncing around the insides like a solar bake oven. They also don't believe in doing any a/c if they can help it--except in the winter.

It gets less obnoxious the colder it gets outside, to be fair.
