You can be "unkempt," but you never hear of someone being "kempt."
Well, there's always the closest Ogden Nash ever came to a dirty poem:
I had a dream; it was my own dream; I dreamt it.
I dreamt that my hair was kempt, and I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.
"In (blank), it is often foggy in Seattle and it rains a lot."
It's foggy, generally, in later autumn.
Also, wet.
Summers, however, are usually depressingly (for a gardener) dry, except for this last summer, which was depressingly (for a gardener) cold and wet.
I've had the Anchor and the Sierra Nevada Celebration (both excellent), but the Widmer Brothers release looks AWESOME. Must find!
The Achouffe release looks pretty sweet (so to speak) as well.

Sorry! I didn't realize my whining about summer was so effective!

1st commercial ship sails through Northwest Passage
The Canadian Coast Guard has confirmed that in a major first, a commercial ship travelled through the Northwest Passage this fall to deliver supplies to communities in western Nunavut.
The MV Camilla Desgagnés, owned by Desgagnés Transarctik Inc., transported cargo from Montreal to the hamlets of Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak in September.
"We did have a commercial cargo vessel that did the first scheduled run from Montreal, up through the eastern Arctic, through the Northwest Passage to deliver cargo to communities in the west," Brian LeBlanc of the Canadian Coast Guard told CBC News.
"That was the first — that I'm aware of anyway — commercial cargo delivery from the east through the Northwest Passage."
New era in Arctic shipping?
For a ship to be able to travel through the Northwest Passage, which has historically been impassable with thick ice, had some wondering if the MV Camilla Desgagnés is heralding a new era in Arctic shipping.

Not to mention it will reduce travel time to the coast for those living inland.

Good to know! I'm starting to feel puny, so a snow day would not be unwelcome.
