Yesterday was the kind of day that makes people who aren't from here mock Seattle. I didn't walk a half block before my socks were soggy and my boots felt like they would slough off my feet. It would have been rough enough on my wardrobe and psyche, but to make matters worse, I had my 19-month-old daughter in tow. And we were riding the bus. And we were going to the doctor to get her shots. If you have dealt with any of these potential pains in the derriere, you know what sort of cursing I was doing in my head.
