The Weather: The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue and clear, there is but a gentle breeze, and the birds are singing loudly and with great abandon. This shall be a glorious day—made all the better by the charring of animal flesh upon the grill this evening!
I had intended to grill the gigantic London broil that sat—wonderfully dry-rubbed—in our refrigerator last evening. The rain was very, very light and did not impede me in the matter at all. The wind, however, was fierce! I have not seen any official reports, yet I estimate the wind at well beyond 75 MPH! The large, heavy trash container that I pushed to the alley behind my office yesterday morning was emptied by Waste Management in the early afternoon. I heard the rumbling of the large truck and the subsequent sounds of it emptying my trash container but decided to wait until such time as I was leaving for the day to return the container to its station behind my office. At 4 PM, when I exited my office, I saw that the wind had borne the container across the alley and well into the parking area on the other side of the alley! I have never encountered such a wind in this area previously!
The wind howled throughout the night and was howling yet when I went abed. I am certain you can well imagine my glee upon arising this morning and finding that the wind had departed!
