Windy..

No, I am not speaking of the song by the Association from a lifetime ago. Those of you who are young won't even know what that reference means, and it's ok, you can't help it.

I can't recall if I've ever mentioned my disdain, hatred, contempt and downright dislike for one of the 4 elements. Wind. Actually, it's Air, but I take the liberty that Earth, Wind and Fire did and call it Wind.

Let me just say that I'm sure it has it's place. I'm sure it serves a purpose other than to mess up our hair, blow trash and leaves all over tarnation, make it colder than it actually is and just generally wreak havoc on mankind. I'm not sure if it's purpose outweighs it's sheer menace.
Just think of what happens when it really gets out of hand. Tornadoes, hurricanes, sand storms. Why, those things can strip a wind chime of it's chimes, rip a wind sock off it's mast, and send a weather vane rooster into the next state.
Mostly, it's just a nuisance when it gets a little on the confident side. You know, when it's blowing constantly at around 30-40 mph and the temps aren't that great to start with.
Gee, I'm not sure what started this rant today, but you can probably fill in the blanks.
