Random stuff

Off kilter and funky weather

As usual, moving sucks. Even though I've moved all my stuff to the new house, there is a lot of cleanup left to do on the old apartment. The DSL won't be active until Thursday (if SBC doesn't screw it up) so, expect to hear less from me this week.

In other news, the weather is most bizzare at the moment. As you may have heard, California is burning due to a heatwave and strong Santa Ana winds. The Santa Ana winds are nothing new -- periodically they carry warm air from the Arizona deserts and sweep it into CA to oppose the ocean's cold air. Once the winds kick up you can feel the temperature rise several degress in the space of an hour. This is not really a big idea -- the winds can be fun in Janurary when it gets sorta chilly in CA.

But Santa Ana winds have died down now. But we're still facing daytime temps of 91F/33C in late October. Europe is already freezing and it feels like July here. I realize that a lot of times weather can vary quite a bit, but this is not right -- global warming is not a joke. This weather is alarming to me -- what do you think??
