Blown Way Out of Proportion...

Yesterday, we had a nasty wind storm come through DaHo. Here at DaHouse on DaHill, it must have been blowing 60 MPH. I didn't open the garage doors because it would have probably caused serious damage. So, I went out the back sliding glass door. I was wearing my parka that has a hood attached. When I got outside, the wind was whipping around the house and caught my hood and about beat me silly. Within about 5 seconds, it must have hit me in the face about 5-10 times.

We have this park style bench in the rocks edging the back yard. Since we lost the old one to the wind last year, I had this new one strapped down with big screw in anchors and cables. The wind didn't blow it away, but now its leaned almost all the way over with the front legs buried about 6 inches into the river rocks it sits on. We lost both of our outdoor tables. They went Eastward along with everything in the area that wasn't tied down. Its amazing to see all sorts of objects being blown past us at about 50-60 MPH. There were all sorts of traffic wrecks and property damage.

Today was totally awesome - warm and NO wind. I should have been fishing, but ended up hanging around here waiting for a package which didn't show. Tomorrow, it is suppose to storm again.

Pam's nose is finally starting to get better. For a while there, she said that whenever she touched it, it sounded like squeezing a bag of potato chips. She went back to the doctor and was told that it would just take a while to heal, and was showed her how to run a piece of Scotch tape down her forhead and nose so her glasses wouldn't hurt it at work. Broken noses are not as much fun as they are made up to be.

On a good note, pool goes well. We had two matches this week and I won 9 of the 12 games I played. Tomorrow night, we go to one of the just completed winter league awards dinners at the Turf Club. We haven't been there before so it should be an experience - Hopefully, a good experience. You never can be sure here in DaHo...
