California dreamin'

So, after the suck-the-air-out-of-your-lungs heat wave and the hide-in-the-basement thunderstorms and the head-for-high-ground flooding, yesterday afternoon presented us with perfect weather: warm but not hot, low humidity, a slight breeze, white puffs of clouds that threatened to turn into nothing else. If we want that kind of weather more often, we'd have to go to California:

Not only is San Luis Obispo, California rated one of "The Best Places to Live" AND Safest in the USA, but it has arguably the most moderate weather in the world, all year around.

There is a certain body of thought that says we can appreciate the good only by having the bad to compare it to. If we lived someplace like San Luis Obispo, where the weather is always nearly perfect, we would get bored and soon long for the howling winds of winter and the blistering sun of summer.

What a load of crap.
