Default Sunny California - my arse.. :)

Well - I have been in San Jose for 2 days and have yet to see the sun.

It's like I visiting Seattle... drizzling and rainy and crappy.

Oh - and where are all the SUV's and trucks? Everyone is driving little econ-boxes... and the odd yuppi Beemer 3 series and Audi A4...

Maybe the gas price of $2.38/gallon has something to do with that... hehe

I'll still chose that weather over Chicago, so stop complaining!

If you want to see all the SUVs and trucks then you have to come down to southern california. As far as the weather, it has been raining on and off (record breaking) for the last month.
