Definitely
It's definitely felt like the edge of nowhere the past 36 hours here on the south side of the Big Empty.
The wind's been up. Big time. Big, big time. Tremendous time. Some machine measured a 101 mile per hour gust of wind about 20 miles west of here. Our trees have been bending and dancing relentlessly. The prairie grass blows like a green ocean. There were whitecaps on the corporate pond over below my daytime cubicle. Leaves and small branches cover the yard. A neighbor lost a big aspen. IThe birds have been having a heck of a time. Did you know the National Weather Service offers high wind warnings? They do. Need to keep those toy poodles and lawn chairs indoors. It's been like a big dry hurricane blew down out of Wyoming and Montana. It's over.
Now, outside, it's calm. Dark and quiet. We can hear ourselves think again.
Thank goodness.
