Soy Milk and Fried Bread Stick 豆漿和油條

左邊這是一個在西雅圖派克市場 (Pike Place Market)附近的一個路標，其實就我家附近啦。常常看到，但一直以為是天線還甚麼的，直到最近才知道是被風吹反的雨傘。今天終於深深的體會到為什麼用那個來象徵西雅圖。原來這裡風很大阿。今天上班，走走走一陣強風，竟然頭被自己的雨傘打到 -___- 然後就變成那形狀變不回來了。

雖然風大雨大，今天是第一次有感覺到有住在下雨有名西雅圖。也學到了一個新名詞 「鳳梨列車」(Pineapple Express) 基本上就是一個從夏威夷來的密集濕暖氣流系統，會帶來很多很多的雨。因為從種很多鳳梨的夏威夷來，所以才叫做鳳梨列車，很妙吧 ^^

這是同事在他的blog寫的：

I thought I’d flip through the web to read up on the happenings, here is what I found on the front page of various sites — ordered by freak out level…

Seattle Times ( what the locals care about )
Heavy rains cause nightmare traffic, flood worries

CNN ( accurate )
Heavy rains drench Washington, one dead

MSNBC ( chances are good but it’s still speculation )
Washington state braces for record flooding

Fox News ( we’re all going to die!!! ^^ )
Washington Braces for Heavy Floods -
State of emergency declared in Evergreen State after rainstorm that could spark natural disaster of epic proportions

I better go home now, wouldn’t want to be at street level when the tsunami hits. ^^;;
