I HATE WIND

Need I say more?

O come on now. It's not that bad. I stopped for gas at the Loaf n Jug and had to hang on to the truck to keep from getting blown over. Happens all the time. LOL

Sorry, I had two bowls of chili for lunch...

Don't hate, but embrace. When it is nice, you may(or will) know how nice. Colorado has quite a "mild" climate that can be overseen...and is. We have some crazy days of weather, but this place has a pleasant way of testing our own human ways of climate acclimation. In the world; that is, most of us humans can live on the beach with a feeling of security, while the mountains bring peace. We can live on the plains with a yield, while the ocean can reveal a vast amount of unforeseen power. Live and let live! After all, what can you do about the elements other than prepare for them? Ask yourself what REALLY annoys you. Remember....life is short, the wind blows and vacuum sucks! Lets remember that this is not all that bad....that is Colorado. This really is nothing (other than shingles and trash blowing from your house). Smiles! It passes like wind.

Ditto! Amazed the power is still on. Lost 4 trees already this year, 2 real big ones too.

I wondered why I heard something that sounded like glass breaking all night. I no longer need to take the Christmas lights down. I'm really bummed. They were up for about 4 years and I don't think there is a way to get them back up.

I was up most the night and during the night heard many strange things hit the house.

I'm a little afraid to go out and see what things look like.

I had to harness my weiner dog and put him on a tight leash to keep him from paragliding down the valley.

My kite blew away,,, WWAaaahhh.

It's all part of the Park County Road Maintenance plan. The wind swept dirt roads are all smooth and hard packed now. It really works pretty well!
