Snow In San Diego

It’s so nice to have hot water in the dorm again. It has been out since Sunday. Seems like it’s just one thing after the other lately.
I woke up this morning and turned to CNN Headline and I see a nice aerial shot of my birthplace, San Diego, California. Though I didn’t live there long, I have been back a lot of times and it holds a very special place in my heart. Anyways, they were showing a nice shot of the bay and PETCO Stadium (Chargers home field). Then they switch to a
current aerial shot of the same area and it’s getting pounded with snow. Now, if you know nothing about the geography of California, San Diego is in the southern part right next to the Mexican border. IT DOES NOT EVER SNOW THERE! This is a very freak weather occurrence. Perhaps global warming is taking place faster than we could have anticipated. I don’t know exactly what caused it, but I do know that it really isn’t supposed to happen.
In other news, there was a shooting at NIU. The gunman opened fire in an auditorium. He killed six people and then took his own life. I wonder what could possess a person to do something like that. The strange thing is that there was apparently no prior provocation. Maybe he was trying to copy the VT guy.

That is crazy about the snow in Cali! I was born in San Jose and lived there until I was about nine, so I totally know what you mean. Even though I have spent about seven years in Memphis, California is special. I love it there! Are you thinking about living there again some day?
