WIND AND DUST AND MOODS

There are different names for various types of desert winds.

I grew up with the Santa Ana winds in Southern California. 

El Nino was recognized as a serious influence in world climate predictions.

And I love the photographs of the haboobs drowning the Phoenix area.

Right now we are just being plummeted with good old fashioned warm wind. And dust.

And I am trying very hard not to blame it for my overall grumpy mood.

It's not hot enough that I can blame the heat - it's barely in the 80's today

And it's not the blasting of cold wind that we get in the winter that cuts through you.

It's just dusty... and constant... and loud.
