July 5 is the first day of summer. Every year on the 4th you'd be biting your nails wondering if it was gonna stop raining so you could set off fireworks when it got dark at 10pm.
Totally off topic, but does anyone know who organizes the weekly sailboat groups in lake union? I see them from my apartment about once a week and they all tie their boats together when it starts to get dark and have what looks like a mild party. It looks like so much fun.
