Leaving the terminal at LAX I was startled to feel the humidity. LAX is very close to the ocean, and so it often gets cooling marine breezes, and while it's more humid than say Butte, it's nothing like the east coast in summer. Not now. Yesterday it reminded me of days in Dallas, Huston or Atlanta.
I'm staying with a friend who's house is almost directly under the "HUMID" word above.
Ah well, bougainvillea in the back yard, pomegranate, lemon and fig tree in the back yard. Close to the beach. I'll manage, I'll manage........
Oh, and an excellent Mexican dinner last night.
Enjoy the visit.

Thanks Steve. I'm getting over in your general vicinity in a few months.
DeleteThat sounds great. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a nice break.
DeleteIt feels humid here today, too, but only a sprinkling of rain so far.
ReplyDeleteIs it often humid during the monsoon season there?
DeleteI hope you enjoy all the best of what's there to be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThanks you Susan.
DeleteThose letters spelling HUMID look pretty large over you and will hopefully provide some shade. Enjoy your visit, Mike.
ReplyDeleteGeo, I looked at the picture more carefully.....it's funny, I grabbed the wrong weather photo from the net.....I do believe this one is from somewhere in the southeast.
DeleteHang in there, Mike...
ReplyDeleteIt's tough, TB, but I'll try.
DeleteA Saturday morning drive on PCH reveals that one must be wary of roving bands of Italian-jersey clad bicyclists. It isn't a drive for the driver who's attention span is used to Montana roads.......
ReplyDelete"It isn't a drive for the driver who's attention span is used to Montana roads......."
ReplyDelete...where only the occasional grizz is cause for concern and distraction.!
Hope all goes well for you and you return to the motherland relaxed and well-rested.
We're heading down to Orange county tomorrow for a few days, my friend has a place down there also.
DeleteEnjoy your travels... In Savannah, the humidity has been oppressive
ReplyDeleteI can imagine. Do ;you have mosquitoes?
DeleteFog is actually forecast in that area tonight. Odd. But you're there and you can reassure them.
ReplyDeleteIn fact that marine layer is rolling in as I write. It's cooled off several degrees in the last hour.
DeleteI remember living in Sebastopol when I was a Cal in grad school.....the summer days could be very hot, 90, then the fog would roll in over the hills from the ocean like a tidal wave, dropping the temp to 60 in a matter of minutes.
Fog isn't among my California memories, but it makes perfect sense being on the ocean like that. The difference between living somewhere and passing through is always significant, as I have learned to my astonishment and dismay sometimes.
DeleteBy the way, I was reminded of you and your Wobbly kin on seeing that the IWW has posted on its Facebook page a remembrance of Frank Little -- actually one of those great IWW posters. Someone left as a comment a photo of his grave in Butte. They'd visited it last year and left a union button on it. It looks well tended, with many flowers, and is inscribed: "Frank Little 1879-1917 Slain by Capitalist interests for organizing and inspiring his fellow men."
Oh lord that our gravestones could read like that.
