[C320-list] starting effort

[Wes.Giles at averydennison.com]

Al,

That depends on where in California you are, and when. In southern cal 
this morning it was 39 degrees where I am just outside of LA. In San Diego 
it will be mid sixties today. Then again don't forget the Mark Twain 
attributed quote 'the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San 
Francisco'.
