You can do the opposite if you want your voice to go really low too. Example below.

Oh, I forgot to mention, we recently found out we're going to get a pay rise, first one for a good few years. It's very, very, very welcome.

Why is the Following Stanley song from the Stanley Parable so catchy?

Sorry, I hadn't noticed this "tagged" message before. If you can find a good job in either place, you can't really go wrong. I like Austin and even considered moving there. But, I chose to stay in Southern California because it's awesome.
I've read bearfan's posts and I think he is seriously understating the weather differences. The weather in Austin is OK--winters are mild but do dip below freezing at times, and summers are unspeakably awful--whereas San Diego has arguably the best weather IN THE WORLD. Cool breezes in the summer, warm in the winter. I've found that living in nice weather makes a huge difference in quality of life. Generally, I would agree that San Diego is nicer the closer you are to the ocean, and as you go farther inland the weather is not as good and it gets hotter in the summer...but not TEXAS hot.
I also agree that housing is going to be a bit more expensive in San Diego, but I'm not convinced the difference will be that great. Austin is a hot real estate market (no pun intended) and housing prices and costs of living are higher there than anywhere else in Texas except North Dallas. What does a one-bedroom apartment near Old Town San Diego cost, as compared to a one-bedroom apartment near Sixth Street in Austin? Those are reasonably comparable neighborhoods. If you are renting, that weighs in favor of Texas financially, because Texas has no state income tax but Austin has outrageous property taxes. Cost of living is probably comparable otherwise, maybe slightly higher in CA, but salaries may be higher too. I also think being a single 40-something guy in San Diego would be a LOT of fun, less sure about Austin, which is a college town.

Quite warm here too, but also really windy.
Sunny here. Might go to the pool tomorrow.
You mean out on the streets?

Not a lot of sun here but extremely humid outside. Worst kind of warm.
