"Oh, then I think I shall wish everyone a happy 'Winds Day', and I shall begin with--my very dear friend...YOU!"

Today we've been experiencing huge gusts of wind, dusty air, and a funky brownish-gray dust all around outside. This morning the weather lady Patty Kirkpatrick (I swear that's her real name) warned us all of high pollution alerts and high wind speeds of up to - or over - 50 mph.

By this afternoon, after I woke up from a much needed nap, I took a look out our sliding glass back door and realized I didn't have the "mountain view" I'm used to.

Strange... I think I sound like Britney. About 20 minutes after starting the upload on this video, I took another look outside. See? I said there were mountains out there.


And then another 20 minutes after that, another even more clear picture.


When we do have weather out here, it's really really strange.
