My dear friend Adam Savage, starting about 3:50 in this video, gives a beautiful description of the history of the value he’s found as a creative person in being a denizen of the Bay Area, especially San Francisco, since his first experience here in the late 80s.
Really lovely and compelling:
@caseyliss @jsnell @siracusa @Drwave I would like some
more seasons. Or the illusion of them. No place is perfect.
Also, I am getting a heat pump installed. This chart is a lie. When you aren’t used to “weather”, when it happens, it smacks you in the face. You aren’t prepared.
@caseyliss @jsnell @siracusa @Drwave I would argue the opposite. We have all the weather and we can choose what we want at any given moment. Want snow? Go to the Sierras. Want sunny? Go to the desert (San Jose is arguably a desert). Want to cool off? Head to the coast.
And yes, we do have an autumn, even in San Jose 😊
@miketaffet @caseyliss @jsnell @siracusa @Drwave Yep.
I could surf and snowboard on the same day, if I felt so inclined.
@caseyliss @jsnell @siracusa I grew up in Chicago, worked in FL and Cambridge, I went to school in Wales and MA, lived in Brooklyn.
I have learned to appreciate finer distinctions in weather; I don’t need it to vacillate between freezing and torrid; arctic and humid.
I like my 50 to 80 F degree ranges.
You can keep your weather.
