Windy Rhetoric Last night in Southern California, the canyons and passes of the San Gabriel Valley foothills had extremely high winds and lost power overnight. With below-normal rainfall this year, the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning of extreme fire danger due to the high winds and low humidity. Particularly hard hit was the San Gabriel Valley. With the power out, I slept with my flashlight, for lack of more congenial company.  I awoke in the morning to find the power restored and a telecast of Bush making a flatulent speech in Kansas, where there was unfortunately no power outage but only a lust for unlimited and unchecked presidential power. 3:30:38 PM    comment []
