Fall Here

Long time no blog. Summer is almost spent- doesn't really seem like summer winding down what with no classes to return to, no state fair to attend, no autumn weather to ease into.

Milder weather here on the West Coast, different subtler seasons. Summer starts heating up come August, September can still swelter. Fire season and Santa Anas brewing and building. The air so dry you can hardly swallow, skin crawling with electricity. Waiting for the news of the careless spark that hits the crackling, thirsty underbrush in the hills. Heavy brown ash choking out the blue sky. Sig alerts choking the freeway.

But for now July has lazed on into August. Breeze from the Pacific lazy over the coastal cities. Laying in wait for what fall brings to Southern California.
