After They Take Their Dirt Naps

After They Take Their Dirt Naps
What in the world are we going to do about all these windy days? Oh that's right, there's nothing to be done other than adjust our lives around them. I couldn't believe my car's outside temperature gage read sixty-six degrees around mid-afternoon. Whenever outside where there was noting blocking the wind, it sure felt colder than that. With it b … continue reading

Continuing To Take Place in River Town

Continuing To Take Place in River Town
It finally happened. We actually had a day without that strong northwest wind sending chills up our spines. There was a breeze out of the north, but nothing like what we've had to endure these past days. My appointment to show a far-away acreage was cancelled by the buyers after I emailed them all the listing information, and the big turn-offs w … continue reading

Boris Karloff Comes To Mind

Boris Karloff Comes To Mind
Another windy day arrived which had me nearly fit to be tied due to the wind speed and the chill it was carrying with it. Nearly everyone I've come in contact with who've lived here all their lives, have agreed that to their recollection, these past six months have been the windiest, and me being in full agreement. We'll all have more sticks, branc … continue reading

Can Anything be Stupider

Can Anything be Stupider
Another windy day in North Iowa happened, and if this is any sort of preview of what lies ahead these coming months, we're going to be in for an interesting growing season, because we all have to remember, is when it's warm and the wind is blowing, plants dry out all the faster. When I arrived at office this morning, I busied myself with getting … continue reading

Sending Big Mobile Incinerators

Sending Big Mobile Incinerators
These gray and windy days seem to have become commonplace in North Iowa, and for sure I'm not liking them in the least bit. Because the northwest wind has now picked up again, it's making me wonder if the Jet Stream is wobbling once more. There's no doubt I made a big mistake by not wearing my winter coat today, but fortunately I had my "wools" on. … continue reading

What Stalin and Hitler Created

What Stalin and Hitler Created
I'm sure there weren't many out in today's weather with the cold drizzle that started early-on. At least we didn't get hit with what the Eastern Seaboard is now enduring.  Yes, our weather patterns are getting quite erratic these recent years. The only productive thing I managed to get done today, was write an offer on a vacant lot. I thought i … continue reading

The Prayer Rock

The Prayer Rock
We finally had a sunny day arrive, and as it wore on, the northwest wind finally subsided enough to where it was actually calm by the end of the day. While on the phone with an associate today, I couldn't help mentioning how much colder and windier this past March was, and later having it confirmed when opening my office's gas and electric bill. Af … continue reading

Another Welcome Divine Intervention

Another Welcome Divine Intervention
One more chilly day arrived, but fortunately we didn't get the rain that was predicted other than a spitting of what felt like light sleet. Of course the southerly wind was picking up to where it was a necessity to keep bundled up while outdoors. My arrival at office was early enough for me to get my contemplative prayer session completed, along … continue reading

Using Ukrainian Children As Human Shields

Using Ukrainian Children As Human Shields
The slushy snow falling early this morning was a bit hazardous while driving to work, but thankfully I did manage to get there without any issues. Fortunately for us, once the Noon hour arrived, the sun was shining brightly and the streets were drying off. Of course the northwest wind had to start up again, just to keep us from having a pleasant da … continue reading

Start Carrying Off The Many Thugs

Start Carrying Off The Many Thugs
In spite of it being April Fool's Day, the weather finally straightened out enough to where I didn't have to wear my winter coat once the afternoon arrived. It sounds like it's going to be in the 50's tomorrow afternoon, which should allow for a decent day outdoors as long as the wind isn't blowing. Sunday's forecast is calling for rain, so whateve … continue reading
