My husband re-tweeted from a New Yawker he follows who recently visited our town -
"Hey, San Diego - is it always room temperature when you're outside here?"

We pay for our temperate weather - if they can't get us through the utilities or the fresh produce, they get us through housing and gasoline.

San Diego, the easist place to be a weatherman.
