So I'm watching the start of the Seahawks / Eagles game, and the fans in Seattle are just getting soaked. And I'm sitting here, looking out the window at partly cloudy (ie partly sunny) skies and thinking, yeah, it does rain more there! The Emerald City is inferior! Vancouver 1, Seattle 0.

20 minutes later, it is Pouring rain here. The proverbial cats and dogs - and relatedly, what exactly is the etymology of that phrase? Actually before you comment, save yourself a few keystrokes, 'cause I honestly don't care.

Oh btw, nice run by K-Rob. Pretty impressive. The Eagles tackling, not so much.
