For those who have trouble with Chloe’s avatar-speak, here’s a translation of her message on today’s blob.

This is Chloe,  Octo-woman’s avatar.

News flash.  It’s snowing here today in Seattle.  We aren’t used to that. We are mostly used to the word that starts with R.  Octo woman has always had a secret desire to be a weather girl . We can.  The way we predict the weather here is we look toward Mount Rainier.  If we can see it, it’s going to rain.  If we can’t, it already is.

We decided to take this opportunity to tell you a Seattle weather joke.   A newcomer to Seattle arrives on a rainy day. He gets up the next day and it’s raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. He goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and asks out of despair, “Hey kid, does it ever stop raining around here?” The kid says, “How do I know? I’m only 6.”

Well, that’s it. Hah hah. Try not to laugh too loudly.  Octo-woman is taking one of her power naps . She needs it. Trust me.
