    Grubendol,

    I prefer it too. Can't breathe when I am in L.A. Although, I do miss San Diego (hometown) sunshine just a "little" bit. I'm not complaining... Vancouver sunshine will soon be just around the corner. Not to many months to go...

    I'm on the central coast, we breath just fine here. I forgot to mention the nice ride I took on my Harley before the game yesterday. I was a little overdressed with the lining in my leather jacket.

    SD and Van BC

    In a previous life, (work) I spent a lot of time in San Diego (Point Loma & Shelter Island) for 3 months at a time and traveled quarterly to Vancouver, BC for a week over 2 years. The strange thing about Vancouver, every one would tell me about the frequent rain. In the 2 years, 1 week / quarter it never rained when I was there. I love both cites very much. But, I prefer the weather in Orlando in Jan and Feb.

    I went to the snow the weekend before last. It takes 3 1/2 hours to get there, it was in the low 20's and we got 8 inches of snow Saturday night. It's nice to be able to go to a winter wonderland then be back to warmth in no time!
