Tonight I'm cold. It's gonna drop down to the 20's tonight here in sunny warm(?) California.

That's pretty bad for California. I know, everything being relative, you're going to think your freezing to death. Just think about some of your fellow clippers, like myself who will once again be dealing with the single digits up here in Northern Michigan. brrrrrr.
