Thanks for putting it into perspective, Moose.

I have visited California a few times.  The first was by driving from  
Nellis AFB in Las Vegas to Los Angeles.  The second was San Diego  
when I had some flying to do from Miramar.  So my view of California  
is almost entirely the south, and I do forget about the great expanse  
of varying terrain (and climate) to the north and east.
