wow! big bright giant rainbow outside the window! :D one side looks like it ends at elephant's deli; the other between 21st & 20th.
which reminds me: i've been meaning to say that i wish someone had told me that there are two secrets to dealing with the portland rain:
1. get a crushable hat and carry it everywhere! easier than an umbrella and it keeps the rain off your glasses.
2. don't work, or work from home. :) seriously, there's more sunlight here than you would think, but it happens in phases throughout the day. when you get to see it, it's great. if you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, i could see how that would be really depressing.
the payoff, of course, is these gorgeous rainbows, green-ness, and weather variety (but let's not talk about the mold, eh?).
