28 Days to LA: Day 2

I posted about our upcoming adventure on a few car/tiki forums today, it was interesting to read the responses. Overall, the responses were very positive and I heard some great ideas for places to live.

However, some people sound like they would find fault in winning a million dollars they are so pessimistic! Sorry, that's not me. I'm going to assume everything will be ok. Are people who worry really this unhappy all the time? It must be soooo tiring to be depressed and negative.

Some good news today - the insurance company coughed up for some hail damage on the roof and we're getting a brand new roof next week. Perfect of course for selling a house. Also, I framed in a bathroom cupboard last night and re-did some wiring so the sheetrock guys will be coming on Thursday for finishing. Bathroom 1 is flying along, hopefully finished at the weekend. 

Interesting factoid that you might not know; the mountains along the coast in CA make a big difference to the temperature and air quality. You can drives 20 miles inland and the temperature goes up 20 degrees! Living in Ventura (as an example) which is on the coast barely gets above 75 - but it's around 70 all year long. 

A funny quote heard today: "Yeah, California rain - those 6 days a year are a bitch".
