San Diego

in General

I love the weather in San Diego. It’s always beautiful, always perfect.

Not to detract from other cities that experience their fair share of nice weather, but San Diego is consistently beautiful in my freedom of speech based opinion.

Some may HATE the weather in San Diego, finding it outright offensive because they live where it rains all the time. Perhaps they come from a place that’s always dark, grey and miserable.

Not that that’s a bad thing!

Moreover, owing to the fact that “beautiful weather” can be subjective, a shout out should be given to cities whose climate, though very different than that of San Diego, may be perceived as “perfect” by others.

For example; 5 below zero might be awkward for some, but absolutely exhilarating for say - an Eskimo.

So there you have it.

But for me, it’s San Diego.

Beautiful San Diego. Don’t go changin.!!

    i see what you did there

    I've not had the pleasure of visiting San Diego and therefore I can't really comment on the weather there. But am I right in thinking that the weather in San Diego is an inanimate object? (Or perhaps a collection of inanimate objects.)

    for every degree of good weather san diego has, another region loses a degree

    I was in San Diego only once last year for an overnight between flights in February and I have to say .. I did notice that the weather was perfect. It was warm but there was a cool oceanside breeze. I definitely thought about going back.

    Just wondering if wildfires and earthquakes fall under the category of beautiful weather.

  • DaringSprinterDaringSprinter

    @CuddleDuncan: You are correct! In fact, the weather in (or out of) any city is completely incapable of either knowing or caring what anyone thinks about it.

    That said, I guess I'm an Eskimo. Funny for a guy born in western Colorado, but there it is!

    I also hate bright, sunny weather, but I understand that—it's the photosensitivity. Who thinks weather that hurts them is good weather? Not that the weather cares. Perhaps it would care more if the judgement were being passed by other weather....

  • biancalovecraftbiancalovecraft

    as a current resident of San Diego, I must agree

  • DaringSprinterDaringSprinter

    @GreatHornedOwl: Good question. Are wildfires beautiful?

    Are earthquakes?

    As someone hurt by sunny days, I say probably every kind of weather hurts somebody and pleases somebody else (and the weather is entirely unaffected by either the hurt or the pleasure).

    City: 100% (scenery, weather, laid back people).

    Troll post: -5% (Off the Austin, TX post).

    SmoothGent, I mean CCguy is so slick! Lol

    For me Southern California is the best place in the whole world, due to the weather and scenery. If I could afford it, I would have a second home close to the coast there. I've visited there and have never gotten over not being able to live there and feel good every day. I know it's crowded and expensive, but those people are some of the most fortunate in the world.

    If you can't tolerate heat and humidity and have asthma to boot, Tennessee weather will kick your *ss til you are nothing but a useless lump. Lol. The only thing I would miss besides some people is how green Tennessee is and the abundance of deciduous trees.

    I love San Diego and it is one of my favorite cities in California. I also love how diverse so many of the cities are up and down the coast. I do not, however, like taking a shortcut to Northern California by way of the 5 freeway through all that farmland because of…reasons. (🐄💨👃🏻) 😅

    I went there for a day trip yesterday. La Jolla Cove to snorkel. I had two huge seals in the water next to me and saw a little ray beneath me. Then to Blacks Beach to boogie board. I can attest that it's a very nice place.

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    @Charlie_Bear I've had the displeasure or working in Bakersfield California. Smells like cow poop and oil.

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    I lived in Bakersfield for over 6 years and really liked it. I liked the low humidity, mild winters and diverse people. I didn't want to move, but my ex did and I thought it would be best to move back home since I felt we would probably divorce. It was the right decision, but I still miss it. I know people look down on it. Oh yeah, and the good restaurants and being fairly close to visit a lot of scenic places. I know people make fun of the people and food there. It was the best place I've ever lived. Some people take their good fortune for granted. I try to stay away from those people.

    @achetocuddle - Castroville: the artichoke capital of the world! :)

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    @cylee1180 I like artichokes, but they are a b*tch to eat. Oh yeah, I just remembered how much I enjoyed dim sum. Even Bakersfield dim sum :) I had never had it before.

  • Minestrone101Minestrone101

    @achetocuddle Deep fried artichokes melt in your mouth! Also artichokes in pasta...magnificent! There's dim sum in Maryland and NYC. If you're ever in the DC area, I'll take ya.

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    @cylee1180 I hope the dim sum will be up to my standards. Lol. I'm not worried about you being up to my standards. Lol.
    This is making hungry for things I'm too lazy to cook.

  • Minestrone101Minestrone101

    @achetocuddle DC area is number 3 next to Bay Area/LA, NYC, and then DC for Chinese food. Lots of Chinese immigrants settled in DC. I'm also Cantonese and I speak loudly, all prerequisites for eating dim sum lol.

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    @cylee1180 Oh gosh, you are so funny. If you drive to the restaurant, I'll do the buying. I get so tired of driving. I hardly ever get to be the passenger. Now I gotta write something that will make any elitists here hoot derisively. I even liked the frozen dim sum at Von's, the grocery store, in BAKERSFIELD. I wish I had some right now.

  • CharlieBearCharlieBear Mod

    @achetocuddle oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to sound like I was bashing Bakersfield. I am mainly referring to when you pass by Harris Ranch. Lots and lots of 🐂🐂🐂

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    Dear @Charlie_Bear. I need to apologize to this whole group. I didn't even realize what you were referring to and wasn't even thinking about you when I posted here. I've just had too many people IRL denigrate Bakersfield. One woman I met in Tennessee who used to live in San Clemente said "I'm sorry" when I told her I had lived in Bakersfield. What a snob. And Bakersfield is made fun of in several movies. No one owes anyone an apology or an explanation for not liking the smell of manure. TBH, I don't know what most emojis mean.

    @cylee1180 I forgot about cha su? bao. Yum. Even the frozen variety at the store was good too. I also happen to be a fan of most cultures bao, Including the lowly southern cornbread. I had a Chinese friend (Burmese by birth; they had to get out of China) who tried cornbread and hated it, which I understood. I think gritty bread might be hard to eat if you did not grow up with it.

    @achetocuddle All corn bread and southern food is great to me. Macaroni, corn bread, I want to try whole hog bbq, southern fried chicken and chitlins.lol

  • CharlieBearCharlieBear Mod

    @achetocuddle oh haha no worries! (And I just tried to make it look like cows passing gas with my emojis 😅) And yeah…I have heard tons of Bakersfield bashing over the years. My experiences there have all been nice ☺️

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    @Charlie_Bear I get why people who are born and raised in good places like Southern California don't like Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento. But if you grow up in Tennessee without much money, Bakersfield is great. I was restricted a lot when I was growing up, so the life experience anywhere in California was invaluable. I meant to say, it would help if I would put my reading glasses on. I can barely SEE the emojis. Lol.

    @cylee1180 So interesting. I like the food I grew up on. I haven't tried chitlin's. I've heard people used to rinse them in the bathtub, I guess cause it was big enough. And beats having the residue? Lol, in the kitchen. Some people like southern food, some think it's sad. Which is Ok. To this I would say, be glad if you grew up somewhere with superlative food, education, culture and opportunities and quit talking about your first-world problems.

  • achetocuddleachetocuddle

    I just realized my last post sounded like it could be negatively directed at @cylee1180. It was not. Just a general statement about being glad if you had a superlative childhood. I actually wanted to say quit dwelling on your first-world problems, not talking about them.

    I really like for people to have some place to vent/think out loud/have a stream of consciousness if possible, about things that bother them.

    "Perfect" for me is the temperature range from 85-95, and summers in the East Bay outside of SF are there for me. Sure, we get our 7-10 days of over 100, but that's what ice, AC, and swimming pools are for - or a drive to the coast, if you're up for a hike with incredible views. I don't see/haven't lived through a downside in any of these scenarios, btw, except for sunburn. Sunscreen is a thing, dontchaknow.
