I never used U-Verse. They seemed to have been unable to get over being early adopter. Their dependability and service never caught up. Always stayed with cable, now Frontier fiber. And always kept my cell service separate.

Make a turkey sandwich, and have another drink. It’s probably great weather out there.

Well, probably compared to you guys, yeah. Had a cold snap over the past weekend, got down to the upper 60s during the day and the upper 40s at night. Now fall is back with mid-70s days and clear, upper 50s nights, forecast to remain that way the next 10 days.

There's a reason why SCalif was settled by refugees from midwestern winters. :-)

One of my favorite lines from a show nobody watched about people "making it" here: "I leaned back and looked over at the girls playing beach volleyball, then up at the sun, and thought to myself, 'It's February...'"

It’s actually not that much colder in Dallas. Except the friggin’ 30mph wind. 30 out of the south, then when the front comes thru 30mph out of the north.

I love that quote. And identify 100%. I went to USC in the early 70’s. (Yeah, I know. University of Spoiled Children, but I drive a pinto not a 911) Majored in surf, 2-man Vball, and on the side, PoliSci.

Had the same phenomenon in the Bay. Grew up in Walnut Creek and it would be 80+, drive thru the Caldecott tunnel and it’d be 40.

Yeah, lived up there too. Back when SF was cool, unlike now. "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco: - Mark Twain

I LOVED The City. Started going there when I was really little. I mean my first trip was on the ferry to the Embarcadero. Walked or rode cable cars all over when you could just jump on and off. And heaven help me when I got my drivers license. Fillmore, Avalon Ballroom, Winterland…..trouble with a capital T.
