I don't know why we forget--perhaps it's the other 300 (you know, 35 days for the month of winter, 30 days for June Gloom) days of sunshine that make us forget. It's hilarious how a lot of my friends will "plan to go to the beach" during the summer, forgetting about it. And it's even funnier to meet out-of-staters and foreign LLMs who come to CA with nothing more than t-shirts (even in the fall), expecting permanent sunny skies. I imagine it's as funny as an East Coaster meeting a Californian whose first experience with below 50 degree weather (you know, like 45) is to put on a down parka (me). No paradise is permanent.
