Uh, I believe Santa Cruz is really considerably closer to SF than it
is to LA-- it's hardly in SoCal.  As for the water temperature,
guess you guys just can't take it if the water temperature is below
80, eh? Me, I find the mid-60s rather refreshing, and that's what
the water typically is over the summer.  Sometimes it even gets over
70.

We'll call this one a draw, with a slight edge to you northerners. 
You have to look hard to find a SoCal woman with anything
approaching intelligence, tho the the guys I've known are even
worse.  NoCal people tend to be stRAnge-- you just have to find
people with strangeness that you find aceeptable.

Hands down for the North here.  I'm not sure where the first poster
got the idea Mammoth was in SoCal.

Smog != weather.  I cannot remeber a single stage thrre alert in the
twenty odd years I lived in SoCal.  Pollution now is much less
severe than it was say, 10-15 years ago, when it could get pretty
bad.

Perhaps you've never heard of USC, UCLA, Caltech, and (my alma
mater) Harvey Mudd?  There are many other schools in SoCal, many
with outstanding departments.  Granted, you've got Berkeley,
Stanford, plus perhaps Davis and San Francisco, but then what?
Santa Cruz? Humboldt? San Luis Obispo?  Give me a break!!!
