We get non-moving air sometimes when the Bermuda high is really bad and it doesn't rain. We get what they call a "heat inversion". The air turns kind of yellow from the dust, and gets a nasty smell from the garbage dump, which is only a couple of miles from here. I remember the first time I went to New York, the nasty yellow air lasted from Washington all the way to New York.

It's beginning to heat up in sunny So Cal. A high pressure ridge is going to keep the sea breezes from cooling us off. My a/c is playing dead but my way-cool windows are keeping it cool inside. Over the 4th, a group of about 50 latinos and Vietnamese went from tossing firecrackers to shooting each other. Two dead, one 14 and one 17 yr old. A strip mall where Mexican day laborers gather on the corner. The mall has some Asian shops including a pool hall. The tension between the older Mexicans and the younger Asians apparently has been simmering for months. I can remember when murders where pretty rare in Orange County. Now they're a weekly event. The Wild Young West... I need to move.
