There's something about the air up in Norcal that brings a flood of memories.  Maybe it's the lack of smog...but it's also cold as hell.  I was down in Irvine, wearing shorts, thinking it won't be toooooo bad in SF...and we get to Union Square and it's friggin' FREEZING.  Oh well, I'll remember next time.
