Radio Fragments - Hooray for Summer!
by Jeff on Jun.23, 2010,under Weekly Show
It's been a weird cold spring here in the Seattle area...but today breaks that trend, and about time. For the first time in 273 (!) days, the temperature broke 75F. After a while you start pulling for the cool air. "Come on! You can do 300 days! Go Arctic air!" Or maybe that's me. But now that it's passed, I'm glad for the warmth. I drove in to the show tonight with the sunroof open!
