Re: [Paddlewise] Oregon coast and weather humor

A number of years ago I spent a season working at the Guthrie Theatre in

someone about the cold, snowy weather, and asked about the other seasons.
 He wrinkled his forehead and said "Oh yes, I remember last summer - it
was a Tuesday, and we went on a picnic."
