I’m not surprised that there’s more temperature variation in the Midwest. We’re near the ocean, and the high specific heat capacity of water… okay, you probably know all of this, so I won’t geek out at you.

I’ve never seen a rattlesnake on campus, but then again, I didn’t spend a lot of time on campus. I’ve heard of people seeing dead rattlesnakes, though. Anyway, there are cute turtles in the ponds, if you’re interested in seeing reptiles.

There really isn’t much smog anywhere in LA, actually. Sometimes you can see it floating over downtown, but even then it never descends and forces people to go indoors like it did a few decades ago. Pasadena is probably smogless.
