CNN is reporting on the cold snap in California and how it is affecting the agriculture business in the state. Despite the crisis-like tone of the reporting, I don’t really see how this is going to hurt anyone significantly (except the migrant workers who nomally harvest and package the produce). The farmers will be bailed out by insurance or the government, which only leaves the plight of the “average Californian,” personified in this article by Joseph Vasquez:

“Avocados are expensive enough as it is,” the 32-year-old Pasadena school teacher said. “We may have to do without guacamole for a while. And we may be drinking our Coronas without limes.”

Oh, the horror!
