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.

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....;-)

I was visiting So Cal this past week. Saw 90°+ on Wednesday.
Your hideous smog and traffic made me appreciate Napa Valley even more...  KT

It was 37° this morning, however. KT

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

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. |

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.
