So what dates do you cherry pick? And who get's to decide which dates should be cherry picked?

It's very strongly implied by a lot of posters. Read the thread.

I'm curious. Why do you want the Pacific to be 20F warmer? Swimming? Surfing? To what depth? 10 feet? 20 feet?

Inquiring minds want to know ...
