    Going out to run in January and needing to add only a sweatshirt to your regular gear. Most days, anyway, and only if you go out very early.

          I may be missing a few.
          What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

            My wife and I were just talking about the Bowl this week. We really miss that. Summertime meant getting food and heading to the bowl to eat while listening to the symphony or watching fireworks or whatever. One of my favorite summer activities, by far.
            Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

              My formative years were spent in Jamestown, CA.

                The 49ers.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  I really like the restaurants in San Francisco. In fact, I really like almost everything about San Francisco except for how cold it can be when the wind comes off the bay.

                    Camp Pendleton has great memories for me.

                    Awesome location, outstanding people, the honor and pride that come as a result of hard work.

                              California is the top producer of agricultural products in the nation. It produces a wide array of commodities but, its single most valuable category is dairy products. In the livestock group, production of cattle and calves is also important to the state, as is, to a lesser degree, the value of California eggs. Broilers can be counted among the state's top livestock products but, because data are not available, it's not possible to determine where they rank among the other commodities.

                              Among a broad range of crop products, California's greenhouse and nursery products rank at the top of the list. Grapes, almonds, lettuce, and strawberries round out the top five most valuable California crops.
                              http://www.stuffaboutstates.com/cali...griculture.htm

                              California supports a large and diverse economy with the highest economic production among the states. If California were a country, it would rank around tenth in the value of goods and services produced.
