I’ve experienced some really awful storms in San Diego since 1960. Heavy rain that washes mobile homes 30 miles to the ocean. Huge fires that wipe out tens of thousands of acres. High winds that topple trees with ease after days of rain. Mudslides. It’s a real paradise.

What I'm about to say is probably sacrilege to some San Diego partisans. I was in La Jolla back in 1986 for business. It didn't impress me in terms of weather. The morning fog was clammy and I never could get comfortable. I was also taken aback by the flight path into Lindbergh Field. It's so close to downtown and I got the impression that I could see the office workers in the nearby buildings since we were at the same altitude while in descent.

I couldn't wait to get back to the Texas heat and the wide open spaces of the prairie. Note the absence of a /sarc tag.

The first winter I lived in Fort Worth it was below zero for two weeks straight. I thought people were kidding when they told me that it was never like this normally. But I quickly noticed that almost no one there knew how to drive in the snow.
You don't get much snow in San Diego like Fort Worth but there are some nearby mountains that do get snow.
They told directions once "go to the top of the hill and turn left. I never did find that hill.
I think I had lived in Texas two years before I saw an Armadillo that was still alive.
I did like the lights that left you turn left after the green arrow was gone.
I always hoped to see someone I Knew in the El Cortes hotel in that restaurant on top while landing. I lived about 30 miles inland while I lived near San Diego so we didn't usally get that morning fog.

Having spent most of my life in San Diego, I really prefer my home on Jdaho. I wish my work arrangements were more favorable to being home. I completely agree with the cold, clammy assessment. I’m in Clairemont. Cold and wet.
