Day 587: Windstorm

[eve_prime]

We had a great windstorm, with rain, for much of the day. Often windstorms are at night, but this one was in the middle of the afternoon, and impressive, with gusts up to 40 miles per hour. My backyard oak tree was dancing wildly, the long lower branches whipping their colorful red leaves back and forth past the window. A board from the fence that's falling apart ended up some distance down the driveway, and our garbage can at the curb fell over.

I didn't get much done, beyond the laundry, the grocery shopping, and the Sunday spaghetti-making. J. worked on some complicated role-playing data analysis project, and D. has two mid-term assignments due.
