Call us the new windy city–at least today. I don’t know what the wind gusts are, but we were pelted with pine needles when we were out. Anything not quite attached can be blown for blocks. It’s rather unusual. I guess yesterday was similar, which explains why my lights on the tree out front were nearly off the tree.

It’s even difficult to drive. So I’m staying home for the rest of the day. Too many people are out who don’t know how to drive in the wind. And…I’m tired. A week’s worth of four to six hours a night has finally caught up with me.

With all this wind, I’ll bet there are sail boats on the bay. It’s hardly worth sailing unless there’s a small craft advisory. Too bad I get seasick. I love sailing, but I hate being sick.
