For many long-time Capitol Hillites, the first reliable sign of Summer will be a sighting of Boe Oddisey (the Capitol Hill scarf dancer) performing [probably naked] at the Fremont Solstice parade on Saturday.

We need an under-employed statistician to make careful correlations between Boe’s nakedness (or not) and the subsequent weather: I bet we could make him a Seattle Groundhog type of weather “prognosticator” in addition to his full time occupation of scarf dancer and street tidier? Volunteers?

Painted cyclists? Well, they’re a part of it, but Boe’s Boe.
