Windy, and not 'cause of me...

Shortly before coming back to Scotland (where I am now) the Santa Ana winds swooped down upon SoCal. They are strong, low lying winds - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_ana_winds to learn more if you're really interested.

As far as I'm concerned it was just a couple of very blustery days that hastened a much needed change of season. The leaves were blown down, making it feel more like 'fall'. It also spread the fires in California like mad - I'm sure some of you have read about the fires on the news. I saw the masses of smoke lingering across the land and sea from the plane. It was really very impressive.

LAX was a zoo, flights were full (good - no wastage), no problems with the flights.

I'm happy to see Kim again. Really.
