“strong winds and snow.”

Why would they take off in weather like that.

I heard that they cancelled 100 flights in Denver today because of the wind. And delayed many more

Perhaps it is what the late Ray Briem called “getthereitis”

I was hiking on the levees in the South San Francisco Bay this afternoon with our little doggy. The winds were FIERCE — steady 25-30 and gusts to 45, rain was horizontal. We were getting blown around a bit.

I turned pale just riding in a Cessna to see the Grand Canyon in what I guess were normal wind conditions.

Some private tour.

A person I went with who has a VERY irrational fear of being in a car going anywhere was FINE with the ride.

Go figure.

I think it’s called “Get-there-itis”.
