50 things I miss about Southern California

So I've been thinking... Above all the places I've lived in... I think I defiantly miss California the most... Which isn't unusual seeing how I lived there the longest, 17 years. So I sat down and tried to compile a list the of ten things I miss most about California... But I just couldn't do it. Ten was too little...
