Holiday report

Report from my mother-in-law's place, I'm stuffed! I ate way too much yesterday. I don't think I felt half-way normal until 7:00 a.m. this morning. So what am I about to do? Yup, help myself to a large breakfast of eggs, bacon, and anything else that gets served.

Later today glaciermom and I are going to do a bit of Christmas shopping, which leads me perfectly to the new poll question. O.k, the poll question is not very original, but when do you like to do your Christmas shopping. Personally, I like to have most of it done before Thanksgiving.

Well, it's time to eat, again.

It's Windy

Yesterday we had lots of wind blow through the area. In our area, winds were 60 to 80 mph, with gusts close to 90. I guess in Red Lodge (about 100 miles away), they had gusts closer to 110 mph. The wind was strong enough to knock out power for a few hours, among some other things.

All that wind reminded me of where I grew up. It was so windy in fact, that I remember having more "Wind Days" than "Snow Days". (I guess you really shouldn't have school if the wind gusts are above 130 mph, and sustained winds are about 100 mph. I can just imagine all those elementary kids blowing away.)

To be honest, most of the time I find a good breeze of about 20 to 30 mph refreshing. Granted, daily breezes of 20 to 30 mph get tiresome, or breezes out of the north.

Well, the wind died down today, which is good.
