Blankets

Another thing that I really love about California is that during certain times of the year Mother Nature tends to "tuck us in".

The "marine layer" is like this huge bank of dense clouds that cover the coastal area. At night you can see it rolling in, covering the land east of the beaches like a blanket. Then, in the morning, it rolls back out. You can often see it sitting out there during the day, waiting to come back to the east. It is comforting, reliable, cooling.
