for the past week or so it has been in the 70s/80s here in so cal
ok - i know people will chime in about the smog, traffic and earthquakes from living here - and they are right about the traffic - it SUCKS. but the smog isn't a problem if you don't live inland and earthquakes aren't something we worry about here. if one happens at 3:30A - we got woken up by it, look around to make sure nothing bad happened and if we don't hear anything broken - 5 minutes later we are sound asleep again.
for those who have bad things to say about So Cal - i say keep on saying thos bad things. there are enough people here in paradise as is. if you don't wanna be here - we don't want you here.
come new year's day when you watch the parade and then rose bowl and see it is sunny and a great day and you are stuck at home inside for you can't get outside because you are up to your a*s in snow - you keep telling yourself how much it sucks living in so cal and how great it is where you are! you keep telling yourself that and we'll keep telling ourselves how lucky we are to live in the greatest of the 48 contiguous states (even i have to admit - living in hawaii would be #1 on my list)
