If I were to live in California, it would effect me in many ways.  

The daily temperature is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so the climate is usually very warm.  Since the temperature is so warm, I would have to wear sunscreen, stay in the Air Conditioning, and drink water a lot.  The Pacific Ocean borders California, so I would be swimming in the Pacific Ocean.  There are sea lions, sea otters, and cougars in California.  There are many more animals, such as newts, salamanders, coyotes, and wolverines.  There are many ways that living in California would effect me.
