I am a native So. Californian and since Larry is a "transplant", I *know* that
he left out an environmental challenge he may not have experienced yet...
Earthquakes
However, I think he might have noticed the 4.6 magnitude "tembler" just past
midnight today (9/3/2002 @ 12:08am) centered in Yorba Linda (just a few miles
NE of Anaheim). <g>

p.s. And let's not forget our great air quality! (smog, smog, smog). =P

Older and wiser, I now live in Los Angeles. We don't have rain or
lightning or even weather; snow we keep in the mountains, an hour's
drive away. The really tough environmental challenge is UV from the sun.
Watch out for those plastic antenna parts and for the cable jackets!
