It actually is drier (and cheaper and more durable) than all of my other jackets. Although sometimes I misjudge the weather, and if it doesn't rain on me, my torso gets soaked because I sweat so much. If it does rain, the wet cold results in me sweating less, so I usually stay more dry. During this ride, I was out riding and hiking for more than four hours in continuous rain. When I came home, the front and back of my shirt were the only things that stayed dry. (Sleeves got soaked from road spray coming in through the vents.) Yeah for PVC.<BR/><BR/>Kate! Nice to hear from you. I was just about to write you an e-mail. I got your nice card. I believe Juneau broke 70 three times this summer. Maybe even four. Although we had a terrible summer just like everyone else in Southcentral. In fact, temperature for temperature and drop for drop, it was actually much worse. It just feels more "normal" when you're in Juneau.<BR/><BR/>Hope things improve! Fall's not good for anyone in these parts. Just sit back and wait for the wonders of winter! (And I am serious about that. Winter's great.)<BR/><BR/>I'm not job hunting yet. But thanks for the info.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-60844913945108945932008-09-13T17:34:00.000-06:002008-09-13T17:34:00.000-06:00Jill,I was going to comment on your coat as well. ...Jill,<BR/><BR/>I was going to comment on your coat as well. I saw you in Juneau and Douglas a couple of times when I was working in the field with it on. What brand is it and do you like it?<BR/><BR/>Homer sucks right now. Well, not really, but the rain does. It's just as bad as it was in the Southeast, maybe worse because it's not supposed to be this bad. Did you know it never made it to 70 here this summer. I bet Juneau even broke that this summer. I saw a position open in either the news or the tribune the other day and I thought of you. Also, this other newspaper company in Anchorage, not ADN is hiring as well. In Anchorage that is, they publish a lot of the smaller papers, they do the dutch fishermen one. Let me know if you want me to send you the links to the jobs or not. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are well.<BR/><BR/>-KateBanalistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12884113444015568569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-9648448498169362502008-09-12T22:17:00.000-06:002008-09-12T22:17:00.000-06:00Thank you for the post!
