we will whether the weather

California is renown for its year-round gorgeous weather. Many people don't understand that it's mainly Southern California that is stuck in this mid 70's limbo. Northern California, and even more inland areas such as Riverside can drop to frosty lows during the winter, albeit it's not snowing, it's gonna leave you in need of a thick winter coat. The beach cities do experience a low variation of weather changes, usually hitting highs of 100 and lows of mid 50's.
This brings me to a significant point, being, people from southern california aren't conditioned to handle life.
Every year for Thanks Giving my family goes up to the mountains for the holiday week. This is my favorite holiday and I'm fairly sure it has to do with watching my family deal with actual winter conditions.
One year, we got up to the cabin, which was located atop a set of (about) 50 stairs, around the time of our arrival it began to hail. Hail is rain that, while falling from the sky, freezes. It's hailed twice in Long Beach, but for the most part, over 50% of my family doesn't know what hail is, given over 50% of my family is under the age of 10...
Anyways, at this point in my life, (around 13) I had never seen snow or hail. I'd seen rain, but that was about it. As we start out climb up the stairs to the cabin door, the hail starts falling from the sky.
"OH MY GAWWWDDDDD ITS SNOWWING!!!!!!"
"no. it's not snowing"
"YES IT IS, ITS SNOWINGGGGGG"
"nope. its hail"
"....its what?"
Proof that there is a variation of weather in California. For the record, the largest recorded hail stone was 7 inchs in diameter and 19 inchs in circumference, I can't help but wonder what it hit..
Another nice thing about living in Southern California is that the slightest change in weather is wonderfully exciting. It rained yesterday for the first time in a while and the thumping of rain drops was accompanied by well over half the neighborhood kids running into my house screaming for hot chocolate and umbrellas.
The downfall of it all is that we can't handle much more then a drizzle. After half an hour of being quarantined from the muddy front yard my home was a mad house of children running like caged animals, which they were for the most part.
Once upon a time there was a really stupid man from Southern California (this is a true story)
Now, whether he was stupid by chance, or growing up in So. Cal had dramatically effected his ability to handle life, we'll never know...Now, I'm at work and it's pouring, like i've never seen it pour before. All the people who were out side are inside, it's raining so hard that people are avoiding reasons to leave for fear of driving. Stupid man says...
"Hey, since I can't sit outside can I smoke in here?"
"Uhhh, probably not, I'm sorry but inside is a non-smoking zone"
"Well, what if I smoke in the bathroom?"
"Uhhh, probably not, like I said, it'll set off smoke alarms and stuff"
"Well, what am I supposed to do then?"
"Uhhh, well you could step outside..."
"Are you f()cking kidding me?!?!"
"uhhh...no, that's your only option really"
the end.
