Also a gorgeous day here in the North Sac Valley...had to put the top down on the 'vert just to go to the feed store (where I get razzed for not having a pickem-up to load suppiies)!

Oh, and never any traffic to deal with up here... not counting the Friday evening line up at the local Hootch Hut for weekend ''provisions''!

Sunday my wife and I took a spin in the convertible Audi through some of the back roads in Santa Barbara County. My wife who loves Hawaii, said that the brilliant green rolling hills looked like up country Kauai.

Cool, we used to haul a bail of hay in the trunk of a '79 T-bird when my sister got half a wish and got to keep a friends horse named Mombo for a year. Her keeping the horse meant I had to take care of it, haha.

Well, because I'm too lazy to read so many pages of postings, I know I'm about to repeat other ones. And you've probably got your fill of replies. But, for what it's worth. . .

I don't live in California now but I spent the first 23 years of my life in the Central Valley, and I will go to my grave missing the climate. And when I lived there I never took it for granted. As a kid I felt very fortunate to live in such a sunny hot spot (although I'm not quite as hot-hardy as I used to be).

But California is not warm and sunny year-around except for the Inland Empire and Mohave Desert ~ and the elevated areas in those regions get damn cold at night, even Death Valley.

And California is subject to climate-quirks of its own, too. For example, the infamous San Joaquin Valley Tulle fog is more dangerous than snowy, icy roads ~ schools even open two hours late on such mornings.

I sure miss the California springs. There's nothing like it anywhere else. And I am one of those people who live in nice weather year-round ~ I don't need the four seasons.
