WIND MILL

We have had a couple days of Santa Ana Winds.

This is not a problem for us so far. For some, out in the Simi Valley, it is a driver for any brush fire. The winds whip it up and keep it going.

They are coming in from the Great Basin which includes Death Valley so they are hot and dry.

We are under #4 in the diagram; lower right.

As far as we are concerned, they just keep the temps up a bit particularly at night as the winds pick up a bit then. We are getting heated from the big desert.

There is not quite enough breeze to bench me on the morning bike ride but I am still going into the wind in all directions; an extra work out.

I have mentioned before that, when it blows here, the canyons and coves create major wind eddies so, on a bike or running, the wind is against you in most directions for most of the time.

I got one period this morning when I had the wind to my back for maybe 5 minutes in a 50 minute ride.

It is OK. I just cut out the last hill.
