WIIIINDYYYYYYY!
That’s been the name of the game over here in Colorado. Boulder was bragging of gusts around 90mph.
Cars are being crushed by trees!
Box trucks are being blown over!
Wild fires are breaking out ad nauseum!
And a local avalanche closes one of our mountain passes.
This is serious, ya’ll!
I stayed in. I’d appreciate some credit for trying to do my speedwork on the dreadmill, but my fitness center was CLOSED because the outdoor heavy-metal, pool/patio furniture was picked up by the wind and flung into one of the fitness center windows, shattering it into a million little pieces. A mere 30 minutes before I go there! You should all just be happy I’m alive, because if I hadn’t been putting off that dreadmill run by texting the boy, discussing his hour flight-delay coming home to Colorado due to said winds, I would have most surely been hit by said heavy-metal, pool/patio furniture. And no one wants to die on a dreadmill. No one.
