Wind Day

The Den Parents had a nice morning.  They walked over to Old Town for breakfast and discussion.  [Den Dad has made contact with a shop keeper there who has a strong interest in history.  They have long talks about genealogy and such historical topics as the War of the Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714) - we listen carefully, but after awhile our heads hurt.]

Then it was time to go with Den Mom to her hair appointment.  Just at that time, a dramatic wind storm swept in.  The van bounced, the dust blew, debris swirled - it was maybe a little too exciting.  [If any of you were watching the PGA Tournament on TV, you saw some of the coverage, as play was suspended until tomorrow.]

Here are some photos:

Dust drove everywhere - with wind gusts up to 90 mph.

Water trucks out to spray a vacant lot so the dust wouldn't blow.

It didn't really work that well.

Shops had lots of trouble keeping their doors from blowing open.

It was a bit of an adventure today - but we look for more in the days ahead.
