It doesn't help that the <A HREF="http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/daily_review/news/28102003news.shtml " REL="nofollow">Santa Ana</A> is no polite breeze, but God's hair dryer, the harbinger of more fires (and we moved here <I>why</I>), floods, flipped-over tractor-trailers and flipped-out behavior.

How it seems to change her.<BR/><BR/>Once you've felt the wind, I don't think you ever forget how it feels or how it makes you feel.<BR/><BR/>Great post. =)Kelly Parrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02926989755373606159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19081609.post-1161309215055896852006-10-19T18:53:00.000-07:002006-10-19T18:53:00.000-07:00ooh, yeah. very moody. love it. i've heard about the santa anas, but never really knew what they were exactly. <BR/><BR/><BR/>We're all so goddamn caffeinated, medicated, nipped and tucked out here, that we can't see when the shit hits the fan. <BR/><BR/>nice. :)anne frasierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14295085417258244849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19081609.post-1161301067981731792006-10-19T16:37:00.000-07:002006-10-19T16:37:00.000-07:00Book.
