Friday the 13th and 26 Straight Days of Rain
Well, it seems like all we talk about around here anymore is the rain. That’s because in the last 26 days Portland has received 12 inches of rain, accounting for about half our annual rainfall, and 280% of average for the year so far. If it sounds like I’m exaggerating… well, I’m not - tonight’s weather report confirms 12.14″ of rainfall since Dec 18 to today (Jan 13). As a comparison, last year we only had two inches in the same timeframe. And the fun part… no sight in end. The Willamette River in Portland is at its highest level in three years, but has yet to crest the walls downtown! Most other rivers have flooded the area long ago. The ground is just muck and mud everywhere, with waterlogged soil and over-filled rivers. It’s amazing, even by Oregon standards. I don’t mean to dwell on the weather. After-all, this Blog is about airbrush art - but until we depart, oars in hand, weather is the subject du jour. Personally, we’re tired of it too, and we’re more than ready to see something other than gray skies - hey, I’d settle for seeing a few clouds and a hint of blue skies even, but lately, it’s just solid gray, gray, gray.
My hope is that forthcoming posts will be about art, talent and travel. After all this gray, I’m going to be more than ready to show color, and lots of it!
Cheers to you all.
