Back to the weather. So, after getting off work yesterday, I began my jog home from UCLA campus back to our apartment (about 5 miles away). It was VERY windy outside. Windy so much that people were rushing to get out of it. It was an interesting experience because there was no moisture involved--no rain, sleet, snow... or even a sprinkle. In fact, it was pretty sunny outside. After 4 years in snow-storm Utah, I didn't think I would experience a "wind storm" anytime soon.
Continuing on my run, I thought "wow, I hope I don't get hit by a wind-beaten palm tree." Then, sure enough, about 15 minutes later I was waiting for a car to pass at a residential stop sign, when a large dried-out palm frond fell from the sky and hit the back of a car. Of course no damage was done, BUT it was pretty close to hitting me as I ran behind the stopped car. The photo is a tad exaggerated (this picture is from Hurricane Wilma). Anyway, just thought I'd share my adventures outside the work/school routine.

Haha, wind. When I was in elementary school, school was cancelled for wind storms at least once. And one time the wind blew a tree on someone's car and the person died. No snow, and hardly any rain, but LA does get "seasons"--wind, fire, and earthquakes!
