On Friday, I was riding from work to a barbecue/picnic, up at Golden Gardens
State Park. It was 55 degrees and lightly raining. I bought a 7 pound salmon
at the Pike Place Market, and had strapped it on to my rack, along with the
marinade, with a bungee cord. As I rode through Myrtle Edwards Park, right
along the waterfront, I felt very Northwest-y: rain, cool day in mid-July,
water lapping against the shore, ships are moving in and out of the harbor,
big salmon strapped on the back of the bike, headed for a picnic that no one
would think of canceling just because of a little precipitation.
