So, today when I got up this morning it was drizzling and I thought , "Man' what an Ugly day this is going to be!" I got to the office and the weather looked the same - then I went to get some lunch and "Whoooaaaa!"
(and you have to say that with this ethereal voice.)  It was the most gorgeous beautiful day EVER! Now as someone who has only lived here for a year and a half, I'm not completely immune to the scenery and I really hope that I never am. Because this is what I saw...

Remember - DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS WHILE DRIVING! "Honestly officer..." -  No I got lucky, but the Minivan in front of me did look a little nervous.

So. Best reason to move to Redding right there.
