Oh, the wind!

Haven't been here in a while...it's not that things aren't happening...lots is happening...I just didn't have anything to say about them.  That is until today.  Woke up to a sunny day, high in the low 80s but with strong winds.  I don't recall a day in teh last month that we haven't had wind...and lots of it.  Today we have gusts around 25 miles/hr....and I noticed that it's making me more on edge.  What is it about the wind that does that?  Is it that it messes up your hair and gets dust in your eyes, or that it makes talking on your cell phone nearly impossible...tried that today--not good.   When I think of how much the wind has blown, the term "solar winds" comes to mind.  I wonder if there is a correlation between solar flare activity and these unrelenting winds?  Oh well, guess we better get used to them...they may be around a while.
