Springtime in Berkeley

Sunday, February 18, 2007 by Dave Winer.

There's always a moment when you realize this is it, spring is here; and this year, that moment came this week. It's warm, you don't need to bundle up when you go out.  

The air smells like perfume, every time you turn a corner, there's a new version of heaven for your nose; and visually, it's pretty stunning too -- the colors! Oh man.  

The weather in California is pretty amazing, and every year it peaks, right around now, and there probably isn't a more lovely place on the planet. 

Another sign it's spring: you can sleep with the windows open. 

And, as "Solo" reminds, you can sleep with the windows open in NY too, but you'll freeze your ass.
