The Santa Anas AKA Devil Winds

Sam loves to burrow - thinks she can't be seen as she settles in for a nap.They're back. The Santa Ana winds are back with as much force as I've ever seen. These are hot, dry, dry, dry winds that usually appear around this time of year and seem to suck the moisture out of everything and everyone. They also bring wildfires -some caused by nature, some caused by human error and some started on purpose by sick people called arsonists who have no regard whatsoever for people, animals or property. We have eight different fires going on right now and they are all out of control with no idea of when they will be contained. These devil winds are expected to continue until Tuesday. And unfortunately these winds usually increase overnight.

On another note, DGS bought his first fancy-schmancy wool sport coat yesterday. I had promised him a shopping trip and of course my input but the final decision was his. He has good taste! He looks fabulous in it and says he's going to use it for trolling. Hmm, no fishing this far inland that I know of - wonder what he meant by that? ;-)

Lastly, I've finally managed to buy something that Samantha likes and uses - we lucked out and found a great cat tree that should provide her with lots of climbing hours and great views out her window. It has a few toys that she can swat at from different levels. Now maybe she will give Andy back his stool by the window. Or not.

If Sam took the stool from the dog...that would be a not. I can imagine how handsome your grandson looks in a sport coat....trolling hum.

She did and you're right - she wants it all. DGS does swagger a bit in his new coat. :-)
