6.
He moved here from Oregon last year. "Lovely spring day, huh?" he says.
"Yeah," I say. "Last weekend of April."
He laughs. "I was talking to some friends of mine out in Oregon and California. I asked them how it was where they are. Guy from Oregon says, 'It's raining.' Of course. It's Oregon." I nod. He goes on, "Guy from California says, 'Oh, it's 85 and sunny! What's it like out there?' I said, 'Oh, it's snowing.'"
I laugh. "Obviously." Then I offer what consolation I can: "Really, this usually doesn't happen."
"This is messed up," he says. "I just hope it stops by July."
"I'm pretty sure it will," I say.
But, really, I'm not.
