gee guys I've been living a 16 hour day in a fireworks tent (since Dec 10- when ever that was) and it is a habitat all to itself. I've been subjected to all varieties of weather you have all mentioned including snow & 80 degrees- my employees (mostly family because they can't decline) hate my guts because I expect them to do something besides whine about no holidays, having to get up and actually inquire after a purchase, and talk on their cellular phone to each other not 10 ft. away. I actually came home because it is pouring rain & after covering up a 70 x 40 tent full of merchandise that MUST be kept dry I am soaking wet & our tempurature has dropped 30 degrees. My husband's sole duty in all of this is to sleep in a converted(meaning no seats in the back for his bed) mini van so we aren't robbed every night ........even with my 140 lb. doberman in side the tent. I had to bribe both sheriff & city police to keep an eye open so he is not the next casualty in the morning news paper which has a really hard time keeping up with that sort of thing down here over the last 2 years. Paradise comes in a bottle of Petrone Tequilla .
 
I'll let you know what crazy house they put me in when i come to(?) about mid January :crazy:

We get fog here as well, but not nearly as often as you.

Sorry, but this is what it looked like on my side of the hill at 10AM this morning. :smile:

Anthony, most of California is volcanic and seismic, mostly the latter. The valley you're seeing is only 100 miles from the San Andres Fault, and if I turned around, you would see the Pacific Ocean only three miles away. I am standing on top of the mountains which run along the ocean.

The nicer views however were to the left and right. :wink:

You have it backwards. We get our fair share of earthquakes, but no tsunamis that I'm aware of! Should have mentioned that the volcanic areas are mostly central and northern CA. Southern is mostly plates and faults. The best example of this is Vazquez Rocks, where they filmed just about every Sci Fi movie of the 50's through 70's.

Is that a Gorn I see hiding in the shadows on the upper right hand rock

? I've heard the Cascadia fault more than likely will produce a Tsunami if it drops a substantial amount of mountain into the Pacific. I've just recently seen several evacuation route signs in Venice Beach along Pacific Ave. They may have been there though, and I just didn't notice.
 
Wow, you're right! Here's a zoomed-in section from the above image, clearly showing a Gorn. Good eyes!

:thumbsup: I've lived in New England - Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Then on to the Miami followed by the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Then on to New Mexico, central and slightly north. New Mexico is for us. 4 seasons, none of them harsh. Lots to be said for high altitude and no humidity. Like the openness. Can't imagine living any place else. Let's ask our esteemed leader where he wants to live. (tee, hee he's my neighbor...)
