AIR

We had terrific winds today. It is March. It is the desert. It is occasionally terrifically windy.

Winds like 50 mph gusts.

We are OK. No one likes it. It is scary while it is happening. Franklin stays very close.

It beat the shit out of the bougainvillea and there is a banana tree stem broken. Otherwise, it is just a mess.

My friend Lynda is coming Tuesday. So much for having a house proud yard for her to look at.

It will get cleaned after she is gone.

It is OK. We all need to be taken down a peg by Mother Nature.

There was one good effect. I spent some quality time with Bill and Marlene our neighbors. They have been here for almost 40 years. Same house.

Marlene says that it used to blow like this every ten years. Now a lot more often. I am convinced that it has to do with global warming.

And so on.

We didn't lose power. We almost always do when there is strong wind. The internet cable was out for an hour and a half. Tough.

We survived. We were watching a movie.
