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

I lived in Imperial Beach many years ago. It was always sunny but I missed living in Wa so moved back. Enjoyed the zoo and other fun stuff to do there though.

@Flutterby04 IB is nice, haven't been there in years. Love the zoo and Balboa Park.

I agree. San Diego zoo is my favorite.@MrPerditus1

@Flutterby04 I actually went to Roosevelt Jr. High, right next to the zoo and use to head to the park to finish homework. Usually over by the Natural History Museum. :) So nice to know someone else has fond memories of that area. :D

Thats cool! Lots of beautiful places in and around San Diego. Up here in Wa my school was next to a park too so I'd sneak over there during lunch. @MrPerditus1

@Flutterby04 Sounds like something I'd have done. :D I've always wanted to visit Wa, never got the chance.

@Flutterby04 No doubt about it. I lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and loved every moment of it. Even getting snowed in.
