Unlike negative ions--found at the beach and during rain storms--that make people more relaxed and at ease.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462117.post-1163046781369183272006-11-08T20:33:00.000-08:002006-11-08T20:33:00.000-08:00Don't the Santa Ana winds sometimes cause huge bru...Don't the Santa Ana winds sometimes cause huge brushfires?<BR/><BR/>Peter<BR/><A HREF="http://journals.aol.com/r32r38/Ironrailsironweights/" REL="nofollow">Iron Rails & Iron Weights</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462117.post-1163009979362866752006-11-08T10:19:00.000-08:002006-11-08T10:19:00.000-08:00That's like a vacation from the summer heat here i...That's like a vacation from the summer heat here in AZ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9462117.post-1162981768372451622006-11-08T02:29:00.000-08:002006-11-08T02:29:00.000-08:00There is something uneasy in the Los Angeles air t...There is something uneasy in the Los Angeles air this afternoon, some unnatural stillness, some tension. What it means is that tonight a Santa Ana will begin to blow, a hot wind from the northeast whining down through the Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes, blowing up sand storms out along Route 66, drying the hills and the nerves to flash point. For a few days now we will see smoke back in the canyons, and hear sirens in the night. I have neither heard nor read that a Santa Ana is due, but I know it, and almost everyone I have seen today knows it too. We know it because we feel it. The baby frets. The maid sulks. I rekindle a waning argument with the telephone company, then cut my losses and lie down, given over to whatever it is in the air. To live with the Santa Ana is to accept, consciously or unconsciously, a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior.
