Winter and Christmas, as only California can do

Today, while out at Santana Row to get my glasses adjusted, I decided to get a Wahoo’s fish taco for lunch. While walking by the small grassed area in front of Wahoo’s, I noticed a strange flakey white substance in the air. Much to my shock it was snowing!!  If you live in the Bay area you know that today it was a beautiful sunny day which reached about 65 degrees.  You ask then, how could it be snowing???  Well, thanks to modern ‘technology’ (and according to a friend, the scientists at Disney) there were 3 snow making machines ejecting a constant stream of a substance much like soapsuds, but very fine, and from a distance, a dead ringer for snow.  Only in California would a mall spend that much money to produce a substance the colder parts of the nation spend millions trying to avoid and remove!!
