It was too hot, too sunny, too mockingly unfall-like. I missed the crisp air of the fall season in the Northeast, the hot apple cider, the blanket weather. And of course, the whole foliage concept was missing altogether. Rainy/foggy cool summers I did not mind a whole lot (much better than hot sticky humidity), though some beach weather would've been nice, too. [shrug] To each their own, I guess.

Most amazing sunset ever... Also Frightened Rabbit - you seem to have good taste in music - if you haven't already checked them out you should. Finally, It's a Cow Christmas...for your wife.

The weather here SUCKS! October is always beautiful, but thats about it. It is so funny to watch the tourists walk around in the summer freezing. because they thought they were coming to "Sunny California"! Booooo Fog!

NOT GREAT. (that said, october in sf is frequently fantastic) word.

I really don't mind the fog, especially when I can stay home and look at it through my living room bay window with a cup of something hot in my hand. I have about a 10 minute commute to work, and today it took me 20 minutes. It was quite thick and soupy. What is the most scary are the people who don't know how to drive in the fog- going 45 mph when they can see taillights and should be keeping up with the flow of traffic, braking when they don't need to. Driving in the San Joaquin Valley during this time of year is an art form... We live about 1 and a half hours north of SF.

It's got a very other-worldly quality, which is cool. Don’t ask me why, I think Lord of the Rings when I see this. It’s got a very other-worldly quality, which is cool.
