Gig Harbor’s weather is one of 3 reasons why today is my lucky day
I knew right off the bat that today was going to be good. I got up early to feed my 3 month old daughter and spend an hour or so with her, then I got to take my dog out for a walk on a cool, cloudy, morning. Then I opened my emails and it became clear…today is my lucky day.
- I got an email from the Treasurer of the United States apologizing for the delay and announcing that they have finally recovered my ATM card stocked with $7.5M! All I needed to do was provide them with my SSN and driver’s license number to verify I am who they think I am, and I’m $7.5M richer!
- I got an email from a relative of the Prince of Senegal informing me that he had just inherited $500,000, of which he only wants $75,000. All he needs to do is deposit the full $500,000 in a valid US bank account and the money is his. He chose me, of all the people in the US, to be the owner of that account. All I have to do is give him my bank account number and some other info, and he’ll deposit the $500k in my acct, pull out his $75k, and I’m left with $425k! That’s just shy of $8M this morning!
- This is the only one of the 3 reasons that actually made me think I was truly fortunate. I live in this beautiful area, with a beautiful wife and a beautiful little girl and a great dog, surrounded by great friends, supported by a great church, and I have a great job.
Most of the questions that I get regarding Gig Harbor fall into one of two categories:
- Is there really any affordable housing?
- Is the weather really as bad as I’ve heard?
I’ve answered the first question (Yes!) in previous posts on this blog. My answer to the 2nd question (NO!) can be evidenced by these photos. Yes it rains here, but no you don’t need an ark to get around. The rain is gentle, it’s sporadic, and the “sun breaks” (a favorite term of our local weathermen) are beautiful. Gig Harbor’s weather is tough on some, as it is cold and wet through much of the winter and spring. You can’t beat the weather in Gig Harbor during the summer and fall months, by the way.
If you’re thinking of moving to the area, buy a little Gortex rain clothing and come and enjoy one of the most beautiful places you’ll ever see.
