| This is why it is so stinking hot. This is one trigger for migraines, a big trigger. |
Summer with all its misery has arrived in surrounds of
Southern California. Every year its
revival is analyzed and dissected to discover the increased temperatures.

| High pressure effects |
Every
year I complain to you all, to the point of showing photos of CostCo and its
pre-Christmas products in August.
Global climate change is one of the factors. Fourth year of drought is naturally part of
that. Now, the approaching El Niño,
promised to arrive pretty soon, will bring some relief, UNLESS it tires out
over Mexico.
Driving up to visit our grandchildren or to work takes
us through an Ice Age-formed mounds of sand stone, surrounded with desert
greenery and avocado trees.
Rather than complain about the obscenely roasting
temperatures we are enduring, here are photos (poor ones taken from a moving
car) of the Valley of the Slumbering Chiefs.
(I named it such, all by myself.)

| Our greenery |
 |
| "Our" hill; we claim ownership. |
 |
| We really like our hill. |
 |
| Here it is again, with view of "farm" land. |
 |
| The ridges overlooking the valley.
The resolution is lousy...photos taken from cell phone...out the side window...going 75 mph...trying to make the snap before the next car went by...
Plus the temperatures were 100 deg. in San Marcos, 107 in Temecula, and 117 deg. in Palm Springs (where gr-daughters were competing in an Irish Dance Feis.). But, I'm not complaining. Oh, no. Not me.
