And Santa Monica…

As Thanksgiving approaches, let us get something clear.  You should not be thankful that you live in California (see current failure of state government).  Also, the weather in Northern California is not always something to be thankful for.  So should you be thankful that you live in Southern California?  Well, no – it may be sunny and warm during the day if you go to inland Socal, but at night, it can get too cold with temperatures in the 30s.  Then what should you be thankful for?  I think the answer is clear.  You should be thankful that you live in Santa Monica.  Yes, the weather may be boring (and I think I have a right to complain about this repetitive boringness more than most), but as we learned from the tale of Goldilcoks, sometimes it’s important that things are just right.
