Dear Humans,

I guess it’s going to be quite windy today. So I brought our  inflatable polar bear into the garage. I’m prepared  to lose power if the wind snaps the power lines. I’m ready to pull over to the side of the road when the visibility becomes zero because of blowing dirt and debris.

Even though meteorologists know the conditions are ripe for some crazy wind today, we can’t know exactly when or where those gusts are going to hit. We just have to be as ready for them as possible. 

I hate the wind, and I know I’m not the only one. I think we hate wind so much because it’s unpredictable. It’s something that is beyond our control. That’s true with most weather, but with snow we can shovel it and with rain we can take an umbrella. With wind, we just have to prepare and wait.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
