vancouver weather

i'm kinda known around these parts as someone who bitches about the weather. I won't disagree but i have to say that vancouver gives me lots material to work with. 

For example, here is an excerpt from the vancouver weatherpage forecast for tomorrow:

'We are expecting a mostly dry day on Tuesday but the air mass will be a bit on the unstable side meaning anything can happen.'

I've learned that you have 2 options here:
always carry a rain jacket/umbrella or be prepared to get wet and deal with it.

I'm getting used to the rain but i do miss the sun of TN.  if only the Alleghenian orogeny had occurred more recently than 300 million yrs ago. This summer was a bit chilly and rainy but this fall has had way less rainy bike rides than expected. Although, it's currently pissing rain in the city snow is falling in the mtns and that's exciting. 

Tonight, i'm gonna hunker down inside to write my thesis and eat the last of the cookies i baked saturday nite. They didn't come out flat (thanks to shortening not butter) and i avoided over-cooking 'em again. 
looks like i've got my baking skillz back. 
woot!
