They say that one of the hardest things to do in life is replace a legend.

This seems to be true in sports and entertainment; in politics, however, it varies.

If this is the case, then December 2006 is going to have one heck of a job living up to the last thirty days. Last night November 2006 officially became the wettest month in Seattle history, with a jaw-dropping 15.59 inches of precipitation.

December 2006 will get an extra day to leave its mark, and those scientists are always tossing on an extra second, so it really won’t have any excuses if there is no run at the new record.

Good luck December 2006, we are all hoping to remember you years from now. Whoa, you’re not off to the best start there.
