yeah...San Diego has about as nice a year-round climate as anywhere. I once left Kansas (where the temp was 105ºF) with my mother to visit her brother in San Diego.....spent 2 weeks in 78º balmy weather and returned to 107°! I wish my uncle had willed me their house! I could never afford to live in a place like that now.

(That heat in Kansas was didn't have nearly the humidity that Wash DC does....)

" In fall, the leaves litter; in rainy September
The wallpaper rots and the candlesticks rust"

I once talked to a college professor in Missoula, Montana who said he hoped the general public would never find out how reasonable and nice the weather is, generally, there. You can SEE mountains, but you are not IN mountains, and it seldom got as cold as people think. I have kept that in mind...just in case.
