weather

the weather has been very strange. we're supposed to be in the 90's and 100's at this time of year. today the insane winds brought low 70's. i am not complaining. i'm just taking note.

driving to work today i saw the tops of trees either broken or severely bent. the winds were the worst i've ever experienced here in vegas. when i first moved here about 6 years ago, i was shocked at how windy it was. my bishop at the time told me vegas should be known as the second windy city. who' da thunk? not this girl.

so back to the winds of last night. they rattled the windows that aren't supposed to rattle, they broke trees, toppled full trash bins and brought a neighbor's trash lid onto my fake lawn. it sounded like trains were rushing by my front door every few seconds. at one point i thought my dead-bolted front door would swing open.

i wonder what these winds will bring... other than horrible allergies.
