Water temp: 53F (that's what wetsuits are for)

Highlight other than tubes you could drive a small car through was a gray whale swimming about 15' away from me.

And just for good measure, from Carlsbad on Friday, brief stop during a ride down to SD to meet a friend for dinner:

Shhhh! You're supposed to post lamentations of state budget crisis and tax IOUs, not photos like this:

Everyone will want to move out here; and we don't need the additional traffic. :D

Nice pics Todd! Apart from the crisis, dam I love California!
Recently ran my dachshund in this event in 70+ deg weather :D

I've said it before and I'll say it again; you Ba$tards!

I know, I know.

Today I was so hot when washing the cars, that I had to go in the house to take off the trainers and throw on flip-flops. Boy it was hot....;-)

Hey jerkwads, it was a balmy 11 degrees this morning in Philly.

I was visiting So Cal this past week. Saw 90°+ on Wednesday.

Your hideous smog and traffic made me appreciate Napa Valley even more... :p

It was mid 70's today. Clear skies.

It was 37° this morning, however.

I don't see any smog in those pictures. Or in front of me right now. (Typing outdoors on laptop at 9:30 pm in about 65deg air).

I was glad we have heated seats. I do know understand heated steering wheels, as I hate driving with gloves on.

Flew into Columbus Ohio several years ago to stay with an old friend while on business.
Heaviest jacket I had was a wind breaker in 16 deg weather!

How in the hell do you all put up with that? I'm serious!

Smog at the beach? Does it ever get that bad, I thought that was a valley/air inversion thing

Mid 70's here, looked for a mandarin orange tree

Looked fine down here in San Diego, too. Could see the "big tubes" from far away.

Cell phone pic from Del Mar Heights looking down on I-5 and the San Dieguito Lagoon; the "track" and fairgrounds are down there, too.

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means..... "a whale's vagina".

(I couldn't resist)

It's certainly not cold here. I've just got back from a months holiday at a beach house. Christmas dinner was rock lobster cooked on the charcol BBQ alongside slabs of ham.

I got in a number of BIG days of surf, double overhead sized wave faces - yikes I'm still sore.

Thanks. I feel much better now..

Bite me warm people :)

Yeah! It got down to the mid 50s this morning and I was freezing.

I spent the day working on Porsches, wearing shorts and a t-shirt - again... Looks like it's going to be another 80 degree day... :) I have to visit a client, so I'll be forced to wear a pair of Levi's in the morning.
