It is on a pole where I can just glance out the kitchen window when I turn on the coffee pot in the morning so I can see how badly the weatherguesser has missed the forecast.
I decided there was no use in just letting this one get blown to frazzles because the windy season arrived rather early this year. Now I have to go to the south side of the house and look at a tall, skinny, came up wild, elm tree out in the pasture. Today was supposed to have mild winds. The elm tree says they aren't that mild. I have to go to Seminole, TX shortly. That is going to require driving several miles through some sandy farm land that can't be plowed to where it will hold in the wind and I would bet they are a mess after last week.
Do you know how to identify a vehicle that has lived on the south plains of Texas? Look at the windshield and chrome on the front. The chrome is dull and the windshield is sparkly looking from being sandblasted.
