European Tribune - Comments

Summertime | 28 comments (28 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Someone, i mean somebody, could do a diary on the various health and mind affecting winds which turn societies on their collective ears. They are strong around the world, and are the opposite of the refreshing winds. I only have personal experience of the Santa Anna winds of SoCal, hot and dry, which take the life out of you. Migs probably can relate. They also exacerbate fire conditions, and bring the worst SoCal fires.

They are the windy equivalent of the Dog Days.

btw, why was the No. African tribe which venerated the Dog Star called, Dogon?

Re: Summertime (none / 1)

The Santa Ana winds threw me off my bicycle once so, yes, I can relate.

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes
