I'd been up early, like this morning when I woke up at 5:30. Curses. I momentarily confused you with Heartland Chris. Please, both of you, accept my apologies. I know you live somewhere in S. Cal. Inland, if I'm not mistaken.

So maybe Chris will answer my question: What are the summers like in Columbia? Nice or hot and sticky? Do you have fireflies? I miss the fireflies. That's about all I miss from my four years in KY. Fall and spring were kind of magical, but then you had this five month winter when you never see the sun. Couldn't take that. I'm a California girl at heart, so I moved back here and never regretted it.

We're above the tule fog this morning. The view out to the ocean is really magical.
