"Los Angeles, every day, hot and sunny, today, hot and sunny, tomorrow, hot and, for the rest of the… hot and sunny, every single day, hot and sunny. And they love it. 'Isn’t great, every day, hot and sunny?' What are you, a @$%^& lizard?"

I've been in LA for 14 years, and I always say LA has great weather in the same way a mall has good weather. It's never unpleasant and is always "perfect", but at some point you miss the feeling of breeze and slight variations and it feels like you're breathing air from a can.

I’m in Seattle and during the summer heat, the city dries and sometimes ends up with smokey haze from wildfires.

Then comes that random rainy day at the end of the heatwave, gives the city a shower it needs and the fresh smell is unbeatable.

I’m not sure what heaven smells like, but if I had to guess it’s like the air after summer rain in my city.

I mean we get wind. But that usually comes right before fire.
