hot & cold

written by Jana October 22, 2007

Hey!, originally uploaded by mind on fire.

Today it was ghastly hot. Santa Ana winds with the smell of ash & smoke on the air. Nearly 90 degrees. We went to the library after the beach and a woman there got a citation from the police for leaving her dog outside–it was so hot that the dog’s health was endangered.

Unbelievable for nearly-November! And the predictions are that it will near 100 degrees by mid-week. Oh my!

But despite the heat outside, the Pacific waters were cold on my toes! In this photo John captured my grimace as the water came up to my calf and it was a kind of delicious pain. :)

That looks so fun! It was hot, wasn’t it? A week ago I was sipping chai tea and listening to Christmas music, and now I’m in shorts and a T-shirt with the fans blowing. :-)

Compare and contrast with that photo of you a little further down the page. So glad you lived through all that so you could enjoy all this — and share your glee with the rest of us. :)

sara: I like the contrast between the 2 pics, too. Same smile, similar pose, so much more _health_. I feel so very lucky to be the now me.

JG: I just can’t believe that it’s so crazy hot this week! and such tragic fires everywhere…like fire and brimstone in Irvine today with ash falling and the air quality so low the entire sky is glowing orange…

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
