I just got back from Cali, yesterday, and it was wonderful to be there and meet so many nice people. The weather was awesome, way better than the -20 we had here. They had a nice record high of like 87 the other day. I was glad to be able to experience it. Everyone seemed so nice and friendly to me while I was there. I met this one guy that was exteremely sweet to me, too. :biggrin:

This makes me realize that I should have planned my west coast trip for winter, rather than wasting it in June. Although, I suppose I'd probably find it depressing to go from 80 degree weather back to -20 degrees.
