Seduction by California
Philadelphia, at 1:45 p.m. EDT, 0n 06/08/2008:
Davis, at 01:45 p.m. PDT, on 06/08/2008:
For the uninitiated, compare the 52% humidity in Philly (which makes it feel 5 degrees hotter than it actually is) with the 14% humidity in Davis (which makes me quite comfortable as I sit in my non-air-conditioned room with the ceiling fan on.
It's funny, back in December when I visited Philly, I missed big city life and I was telling people here in January (a cold, rainy month in northern California) of how the difference in weather is not enough to keep me back from heading back east after I finish my Ph.D.
After spending one spring in California though, my views may have changed. I love the fact of being able to wake up six months out of the year (April through September) and knowing that there is a 99% chance it will be an absolutely out and out gorgeous day and that there will not be a single cloud in the sky. I look up and I see an ocean of light blue in all directions.
I seem to have fallen in love with California! How did that happen?

And you didn't even mention that I live here, too.....
Trust me, you'll be teaching at UCLA or UCI in a few years. No tube socks are ever needed, year-'round, here in paradise, i.e. Southern California.
