I dunno, but it is REALLY WINDY out there! I was just now driving home from getting Joshua from school...driving south. The wind is out of the SW. A gust hit the side of my car like a blast and nearly flung me off the road, no kidding. (I drive a Ford Aerostar.) Then as I was struggling to stay on my side of the road a big tree branch broke loose and would've hit me but the wind caught it and threw it off to the side of the road. I felt that feeling you get when it feels like your blood turned to ice water, you know? Vey nerve-wracking...I'm glad to be home!

Glad you made it home safe! You wouldn't have been driving through the Old Forest, would you?--My cousin Hal says there's some queer trees on the North Moors. . .

Glad to hear yer safe. When it gets windy, I slow down, my Explorer behaves like a weathervane. At the same time, I see other Explorer driving speeding up! I know their control is VEY tenuous. Scares me. I get the feeling, they're so unaware of thing, they have no idea how close to disaster they are.
