Ive been flying out to SF from the east coast three to four times a year for the last three years. Every time, I've been struck by how brown everything is. Well, I'm in San Diego right now (a little different, I know), and now I'm struck by how green everything is. Glad it's finally let up.

It'll go brown again by June. It's not called The Golden State because there was gold, it's because of the characteristically gold color of the hills in the summer.
