“It rains in Washington?!?!? I am shocked. Shocked, I say!!”

“Hey, I’m gettin’ wet over here!!”

The sky piddles on Penn Cove.

Now it gets interesting.

Day 147 in Penn Cove and the thunder rolls, the rain falls and, when I get back to the top of the Hill O’ Death, cars slow down, people give me strange looks as I stand there dripping a waterfall on the side of the road, then suddenly hit the gas and speed away.

I probably didn’t even need to get in the water. I was already soaked before I reached the beach.

Not that this will stop me.

I’ve swum when the chop was so ferocious out there it was like being trapped in a runaway roller coaster. Days when it was so cold it was like taking an icicle up the crotch. Days when I’m pretty sure the seals piddled in the water before I got in.

And hey, Sunday is Day 150, which means free ice cream for me at Kapaw’s. I’ll be danged if a lil’ thunder and rain is going to steal my creamy deliciousness away from me.

So piddle away, seals. See if I care!
