I've been told that in California earthquakes are what we have instead of weather. Or alternatively that whereas earthquakes will come to you if you're patient enough, you have to get out and go visit weather if you want it. Want fog? Go to the beach. Want rain? Try North Coast. Snow? Go to Sacramento and turn right (just like most of our governors do). Living as I do four miles from the San Andreas Fault and within yards of several smaller ones, I cultivate patience. And Prudence.
