    Hope you have a well loaded sporran.

    I love the Santa Ana's, well except for the heat. I plan on going for a walk in the park later today.

    The Santa Anas are starting to stir again here in Nth Hollywood (last night was a ripper!) Don't think I'll risk my SWK Thrifty today - that would be asking for touble.

    You silly people- Kilts look killer with trench coats/leather dusters, and the long coats hold them down! It's as simple as that. At least, that's what I did today in Denver- it's snowy and windy as heck here!

    Just keep the wind on your left as much as possible, ad you should be OK. If it is swiring
    just spin with it, no problemo.

    Damn Santa Ana's just took down my fence! There goes at least 2K getting that repaired.

    80 mile per hour gusts will do that you know. Still going for a walk this afternoon.

    True, but unfortunately, here in Southern California, wearing a trench coat would get one a bad case of heat stroke.

    Yeah! It's very hot today. I'm keeping an eye on my fences, in between watching the wild fires in Mailbu & Agua Dulce on TV. I have at one time or another replaced all four fences during Santa Ana's . Hopefully they'll stay up. ($2,000 last time just fir a 20' section that went).
    Went out to the car and luckily no one was out. Kilt blew up back then front, I retreated inside very quickly.

    I remember a year or two ago, our hammock blew into the pool.

    Remember after all those fires a while back when all the dirt and dust blew all over?
