WINDAGAIN

We really got our asses kicked today with winds.

Again.

And the power went out.

Again.

Which is good because I confirmed that I can get along OK without it for awhile.

We were going to have pizza. No oven controls. So I went out in the freezer and got some left over stew. I can use the top burners with a fireplace lighter.

Franklin and I went out in it. It was scary for both of us.

He does much better outside than in.

Somehow, being in it gives him a feeling of control. He bites at the wind and jumps into the air.

I am the other way. I am better inside. I don't like the sand blowing and a neighbor got hit with a tree limb once so I am sort of ready for that. But I do get a thrill. I don't jump and bite the air but I do like the adrenalin.

Fundamentally we had a good time together.

John was away and when he came back we took a ride in it to look at stuff.

It is dramatic.

We get microbursts and wind shears.

They do a lot in a small place.

I think we may have lost the small lemon tree. It snapped its roots about half way down the root ball.

We will see.

Otherwise, we are just full of air trash, limbs, leaves and palm bark.

Funny. Or not. The power went out just as the Super Bowl was starting for folks (not us) and came back at about the half.

I am watching the scores. I am not totally out of it.

Pats 7-3 or something. In the third I think.

Well. No one is reading this blog for info on the game.
