I’m kinda running out of subject matter within walking distance here around the outskirts of Hemet. Luckily, there’s been talk amongst a few of my friends about a trip to Simpson Park next week.
I hadn’t realized that I haven’t experienced “normal” Hemet weather since I moved back here, ’till now. Now that the rain’s gone, the haze is back, and there is an overarching feeling of grossness every time I walk outdoors. The temperature begins in the low 40s, and then shoots up to the mid 80s within an hour before noon. I go out with a jacket, and end up carrying it around the entire day. The sky is no longer a deep blue between fluffy clouds; it’s more like a really light blue with a slight yellow tinge, broken up once in a while by strange-looking offwhite cirrus wisps and chemtrails. All the more reason to get a red filter, I suppose. The mountains are no longer these giants looming over the valley; the haze has reduced them to faded lumps of land mass in the distance. I’m beginning to think that this is the reason why I had always been under the impression that there weren’t many photo-ops around here. I suppose I’ll just cross my fingers and hope for more decent weather this year. And, plus, it’s only for a few months, right?
