(And you probably know this quote already, and have possibly even referred to it here before...)<br /><br />"The San Bernardino Valley lies only an hour east of Los Angeles by the San Bernardino Freeway but is in certain ways an alien place: not the coastal California of the subtropical twilights and the soft westerlies off the Pacific but a harsher California, haunted by the Mojave just beyond the mountains, devastated by the hot dry Santa Ana wind that comes down through the passes at 100 miles an hour and whines through the eucalyptus windbreaks and works on the nerves. October is the bad month for the wind, the month when breathing is difficult and the hills blaze up spontaneously. There has been no rain since April. Every voice seems a scream. It is the season of suicide and divorce and prickly dread, wherever the wind blows." -- Joan Didion, "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream," from "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-47448714714236556692013-10-05T23:38:32.693-07:002013-10-05T23:38:32.693-07:00Wait, am I thinking of this quote, and not Joan Di...Wait, am I thinking of this quote, and not Joan Didion at all? Or did she write something about Santa Anas too? Or was she quoting Raymond Chandler?

And I'm crazy in here. It's either the Santa Anas or menopause.
