Today its me sitting next to my Bird hating this frigging weather 18 degrees and snowing! Why in the hell did I ever leave California?
Air quality, water quality, traffic, schools, fires, earthquakes, sewage spills, price of housing, unemployment, State budget deficit. Those are some of the things I remind myself of at this time of year when it's 12 below here in Minnesota and I think of our old home in San Diego.
Now, on the plus side there is the weather, Mexican food, great produce in the grocery stores, the weather, the ocean, all of the scenic beauty in the mountains and along the coast, the weather, Disneyland, Hollywierd, the weather, the coast highway, the national parks, the weather, the wineries, the lookers and, of course, the weather.
We've been back in Minnesota for 19 years now and I wouldn't go back to San Diego unless I had unlimited funds but, at this time of year, it does make you go WTF!
