On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen.<br /><br />Raymond Chandler, "Red Wind"<br /><br />The Santa Ana winds of Southern California are not always hot; in December and January they can chill one to the marrow. But they always make your skin crawl, and the LA police have learned to fear their unexpected arrival.Waldonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-37316917124955098642011-02-07T18:36:42.709+00:002011-02-07T18:36:42.709+00:00Not in my book Malty - or Tex Ritter's.

There, whatever the season, you are never more than a few days away from a strong wind - either the Levante, from the S.East, or the Poniente, from the Atlantic to the West. The wind-surfers come and go. But it is said that some folk who choose to come and live in the area, have been driven to distraction by the almost constant torment of either warm air from the east, or freezing air from the ocean.mahlermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-86176919344410444142011-02-07T15:58:10.644+00:002011-02-07T15:58:10.644+00:00what happened to me link???
