Getting Hit Hard By Weather

Living in San Diego has it's perks. It's a gorgeous, though over priced beach city, but people tend to forget that it's also a desert city. That the lovely palm trees are transplants and not indigenous to this area. That you can find huge areas in canyons and the hills covered in brush and cacti. With that being said...we are getting hit by Santa Ana winds right now or what we like to call the devil's breath.

It got up to 101掳F (38.3C) today where I live and at this very moment, it's 3:00 am and it's 91掳F (32.8掳C) and this is with doors and windows open and fans going. Not going to run AC, because we tend to get brown outs when that's done. Besides, I'm still a yung'un and can't really complain, much. :D

But, for those that may notice my absence, not many will but some might. Know it's because it's Dante's Inferno where I am and I might not have the energy or mental awareness to come on and bother some of you.

This isn't anything new to us, we get them often enough. For those that have never experienced a Santa Ana, just think of putting your oven on to about 500, put a fan in the back and then sit in front of the open door and you wonder why we get so many fires out here. lol

Anyway, thinking of and wishing you all the best to any reading this. 馃

That sounds horrendous... I like the sun, but fuck that. :)

@Midnightoker1 LOL Yeah, I'm a sun lover and beach bum. I've lived with this most of my life and still it sucks. Usually it doesn't last TOO long, but still. Miserable is an understatement. 馃サ

@MrPerditus1 I'm off to Portugal on Sunday morning looking forward to the highs of 28...... lol :) Stay safe. :)

@Midnightoker1 Have a great time, take pics and maybe share a couple (if you don't mind). Haven't been there in MANY years. Be well and stay safe too. Will do my best!

@MrPerditus1 Definitely... I'm going to the Algarve so there's some beautiful beaches there. :)

@Midnightoker1 Last time I was in Portugal was around 1985, I suppose a few things have changed. lol Loved it though. :D Enjoy your time there.
Midnightoker161-69, M
@MrPerditus1 I only started going there around 10 years ago and things have changed. The little villages more inland are more or less unchanged. :)

@Midnightoker1 Nice. I only got to go because I was stationed in West Germany at the time. But I took advantage and travelled all over the place.

Any, have a great trip, going to head off for now. Take care.
