The first time I was in CA was for a Semicon show in the '80s. I realized 
SF could be as miserable as coastal Maine but they had a much better PR 
firm promoting 'wonderful sweater weather'. I spent enough time at the 
show to write it off as a business expense and headed east over Altamont 
Pass. Most of the rest of the state was pleasant, particularly Joshua 
Tree.

The reference was to Seattle but someone described it like being married 
to a beautiful woman who was sick all the time.
