Monday Sketchbook: Wonderfulness

I swear almost this very thing happened to me last week. We had a storm come in with wind gusts up to 90 mph that blew down more than 25 trees on Oregon 18, which caused us to close the road for almost an entire day. Meanwhile the rain in Portland was flooding parts of the freeway (you can see the photos on our Flickr page). We also have several radio stations that seem to be in competition to be The Christmas Music Station, so they start playing Christmas songs long before Thanksgiving. Oftentimes it seems they don't pay that close of attention to the songs that follow the news broadcasts, so after once such gloom and doom news report, they came on with a happy, jolly holiday song. I would have laughed had I not been stuck in traffic!
