Last Friday, we had a plan for a family date night out, but didn’t make it after these photos got taken — there was so much wind! Big wind! It felt like the roof of the house might come off, or trees crash down, or the car could tip over when driving . . . ha-ha (but not so funny at the time).
They call it the Santa Ana wind, and it comes every fall and early winter — very dry, usually hot, and always strong! It’s very dangerous for wildfires, too.
In a book, Raymond Chandler wrote about it: “There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. 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.”
Anyway, pizza is always a good idea for a Friday movie night at home. We currently are trying different brands of take-out pizza, like Little Caesar, Pizza Hut, Pizza kitchen, etc. This night we tried one from Papa John. Do you have your favorite pizza brand?
