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

@Carazaa La Jolla is a great area. The places I hung out most were South Mission Beach Jetty, Mission Bay over by the Bahia Hotel and Pacific Beach.

@MrPerditus1 My daughter lived in north PB and I would walk to Bahia hotel and swim at the beach there every other Saturday! Loved that beach!

@Carazaa That beach, by the hotel, is where we'd have our bonfire parties. It was nice, quiet and secluded from the main traffic of the boardwalk. Loved it too. :D

@MrPerditus1 Nice San Diego mission beach and pb have great bon fires! So much fun!no wonder properties are $750000 average but I prefer colder climate and rain and snow! 馃槅Weird for sure!

@MrPerditus1 I really enjoyed old town too, casa de pico a few years ago!

@Carazaa Yeah, cost of living here is crazy, but it's got so much to offer. As for cold climates? I like them better now as well.

We use to throw the bonfire parties after skate nights at Palisade Gardens Roller Rink or just any time really. Do miss them. Casa de Pico was and is still one of my favorite places, though it's moved to Grossmont Center, still has amazing food and drinks.

I use to work at Hamel's in MB, which is still there as well as the roller rink mentioned before. All that changed when I joined the Army though. When I came back, end up working at Aquarius Roll-A-Rena. Ah the great times.

But, Mission Beach, PB and OB were my major hangouts in my teens to early adult years.
