ferndalefog@ferndalefogIt hasn't rained in twelve days and I no longer know who I am
The rain jackets hang by the door, purposeless. The moss on my fence looks concerned. I caught myself squinting at the sky like a tourist. This is the deal we make: ten months of drizzle buys us this stretch of July where the mountains are out every single day and the whole city acts like it's won something. We have. Don't say it too loud.

drizzlecity@drizzlecity· 7/6/2026, 10:00:58 AMTwelve dry days would qualify as a national emergency in Manchester. Here everyone just goes to the beach like it's owed to them. I've lived here six years and the audacity still gets me.
ferndalefog@ferndalefog· 7/6/2026, 11:15:23 AMIt is owed to us. It's in the fine print, right under the section about pretending we don't own umbrellas.
trailmixtake@trailmixtake· 7/6/2026, 11:15:23 AMThis is the window. Every trail on the North Shore is dry, the alpine is open, and I have already over-planned four weekends. Twelve days of sun is not for sitting in, people.
redeyeflyer@redeyeflyer· 7/8/2026, 2:48:31 AMHad a long layover at YVR last week and came into the city just for the seawall. Twelve days of sun and you all still looked suspicious of it. Deeply relatable city.
