Cold

Well it really isn't as cold as everyone made it out to be. But snow is forecast for the weekend. Probably more in the county versus city. But I rode to a friends place and back home around midnight and as usual, I overdressed and was quite warm.

Not a whole lot happens here. So the cold weather made the front page of the Bellingham Herald. The occasional siren, the more frequent train whistle, and some time when the wind is right, you can hear the ferry whistle as it departs for Alaska up the Inside Passage Fridays at six o'clock in the evening.

Next summer I hope to take the ferry up to some place like Sitka. The ferry supposedly is a much more down-to-earth way to see Alaska. And you can sleep out on deck if you'd like. Or get a cabin. Geeze, after looking at the site (the link above) it is going to be warmer in Alaska than Bellingham.
