everyone knows it's windy

It is very gusty today; the Santa Ana winds are really blowing. (They're blowing a steady 30mph and gusting up to 70, according to today's L.A. Times.) My eyes are a bit red, and my hair is a-muss, but the entire place seems swept fresh. The air is crisp, all of the colors are ten times more vivid than they were yesterday, and the kids at the playground I passed on the way home were flying homemade, purple and pink kites.
