Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Back when Fallbrook and Pala Mesa were still mostly avocado orchards there was a great BBQ place called Rusty's nested in the hills.

Awesome, let me know when and where, I can tell you about a few places to check out. Weather is rather gloomy right now but should brighten up when you get in town!

Welcome to the FPN.

 

One day I was talking to a fellow employee that had transfered to Texas from San Diego. We talked of several things, one being the weather. She told me that of all of the places in the world San Diego had the best overall weather!!

 

Enjoy your stay here.

PM sent.

 

We've had rain in more than 20 of the last 30 days; it's like we've been teleported to the PNW.

Hello, San Diego!

 

I grew up down there and miss it every day. Luckily, still have a lot of friends so get to vacation in the area. I'll be down there at the end of July/first of August.

 

BTW -- I'm also a yoga teacher. Maybe I can catch one of your classes?!
