My wife is setting up Xmas decorations today. Went upstairs to help out and immediately felt better not having the Seahawks in my sight.

It was also nothing like the past Januarys I was referring too. Maybe close to getting there in NW OR, but not up here.

Wow, only .14" here. It's pretty dark as well, just not seeing much rain. Once the rain did let up about 9:30 or so, I tried putting Christmas lights up, but half the f*cking strands didn't work, after going through 3 seasons of that BS, I am done with the outdoor Christmas lights thing. It's a bummer because our house looks really nice, but not shelling out $$$ every year to only get one season of use out of them. The strands I had when we first bought the house lasted for 8 years, and honestly probably could have kept going, but the insulation on the wire was starting to show its wear from 8 winters outside. Since those lights, everything has been crap, even lights from "reputable" brands like GE.

OMG... watching them chase Purdy is beyond frustrating. Its like coyote chasing the roadrunner. They can never, ever, ever, ever catch him.
