Many who cross the sound often or daily absorb themselves in books, laptops, newspapers, or conversation to ignore the crossing.  I've lived in western Washington state only since '73 so haven't been here long enough to get tired of the rain and don't ride the ferries often enough to get tired of the view - even if the view is fogged by rain...  but I've always been like that, I love to enjoy the view when I go from here to there or from there to there or there to here...   Back when I worked for wages at the place in Bremerton that did stuff to ships, I enjoyed my commute and the view, especially on the way home - for more than the fact that I was going away from that place... I often took the long way home... often my ten mile commute would stretch to fifty or a hundred or more miles and even in the rain... and even though I usually rode a motorcycle.

Now, that I work at home, I often sit by a window watching
the rain...

but, today, no rain,  cold and mostly clear but no rain... but, I watched for it...

Peace

ps this afternoon I saw the bright orb drop from a cloud and hide behind the Olympic Mountains...
