Alan, drove me by Pali about 5 years ago when he was showing me "the old neighborhood."
Tehani, we've been having unusually cold weather here too, especially at night. Warms up somewhat in the daytime but not like it usually does. Of course 50 - 60 are cold daytime temps for us. Also have had some extremely windy days where the dust is so thick I can't go outside because of allergies. Luckily, the bad days dont' last long and then we're back to beautiful desert weather.
The Charleston area is one of my favorites, especially Kiawah. Need to introduce the area to Alan.
