SoCal Pet Peeves, Padres up the Middle, and Pretty Much Everything Else
Monday, August 11, 2003by Geoff Young
As a native Southern Californian (I call myself that even though I was born in Boston; I've lived here since before I turned two, and both my parents spent many of their formative years in the greater Los Angeles area), I've come to accept a few things. I don't necessarily like them, but for the sake of my sanity I've come to accept them.
No matter how bad the weather seems on any given day, you absolutely cannot complain about it to anyone who doesn't also live here. Your cousins in Buffalo don't want to hear that you had to put a sweater on in the middle of January because the temperature dipped below 60 for a few hours.
Folks who move here ...
