Gee, I'm always feel spoiled posting the weather here. It's definitely fall, with temps in the 70's (sometimes 80) and evenings cooling down sometimes in the 40's as winter progresses.

Of course we do have the Santa Ana winds, which has caused havoc for the fire and firefighters in Palm Springs last week, but thankfully that have diminished.

SB, I really really miss the big thunderstorms. There's something so cool about pouring rain. We hardly ever get thunderstorms here...rain some, not seldom with thunder/lightning. Not like the Midwest/East anyway.
