The weather down in San Diego has been great lately. In most of the country it is cooling off now, and in some places it’s becoming chilly. I can remember winters growing up in the Northeast, it was usually freezing temperatures by mid-October! On the one hand, you get the fall foliage turning all sorts of wonderful colors. On the other, you get the cold temps! I suppose it is a tradeoff.
In San Diego, of course, the year-round weather usually doesn’t vary too much. Most of the time you get a nice moderate seventy degrees or so. Sometimes it does get a bit chilly in the winter, and you have to wear a hoodie when you go out. On the plus side, you can use your pool for most of the year.
The culture in San Diego is somewhat similar to that of Los Angeles, but they do differ a bit. For one thing, one of the big industries in LA is the film industry. Many people are aspiring actors, models, and directors. I have a friend who is a medical doctor that works as a film consultant for tv shows. You know which ones – shows like House or ER. The audiences demand a realistic script, so they have to have an expert on hand to make sure the dialogue is accurate.
The entertainment industry does not really exist in San Diego. People in general are less competitive and more laid back. There’s more of a surf culture. It’s interesting because San Diego has natural barriers on all four sides. On the west is the Pacific Ocean, on the north is Camp Pendleton, and the east is the desert, and to the south is Mexico! They say there’s over 4 million people in the San Diego greater metropolitan area.
