The wind is so strong here today that it’s blowing the birds right out of the trees. There are shingles in the alleyway from various people’s houses and the sky/air outside is this weird yellowish color because so much sand/dust has been blown up into the air that when you go check the mail, you can feel the grit of it in your teeth. I don’t recall opening my mouth when I checked the mail, and yet I have sand in my teeth.

All the trash/recycling bins have toppled over and our backyard chairs have been blown up against the house. The closed umbrella is now prostrate on the ground. Every time there’s a breeze, the window in our master bath whistles. Today it sounds like there’s a train going through there.

Whatever this is blowing in, I wish it would just get here already.

And in other news, the salon where Britney shaved off her hair is selling the locks for $1,000 per strand. It strikes me as sad when celebrities reach such a superhuman status that people become willing and eager to make a profit on a person’s display of emotional instability.
