We get something like a desert wind here in SoCal, when the Santa Ana winds kick up. It's close enough to make me miss the desert wind.

Desert wind is very dry, a lot of static electricity, the smell of sagebrush and mesquite and ozone, and it's steady.
Coastal wind is moist, and heavy, and it's more wild and random.

I've always loved the desert wind. I grew up in the desert and my parents' house bordered on hundreds of thousands of acres of BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. At night when the wind blew I'd walk up into the hills, feel the wind and look at the stars.
Coastal wind is different, and I'm not a fan.

We'll be doing the Dune thing this afternoon.

Aw, come on, who doesn't like a good explosion?

Years ago Meta modified its TOS such that everything you upload or post becomes their property. My brief flirtation with Facebook ended that day.

I have a goatee, and the feel of anything liquid going through the hair on my chin freaks me out. I also keep napkins handy.

Sensory sensitivity can present in a lot of different ways, and some of them are easy to mask.

I don't like my hands feeling sticky or slimy. *Really* don't like it. When I'm doing anything that might cause that, I wear disposable gloves. I keep boxes of them in the house, all over, so they're right there. People have told me how smart and prepared I am, when I'm cooking or cleaning or doing anything else that might get on my hands.
