And that's just the weather forecast; here on the ground it sounds like the blitz out there.
If I had to spend a winter in Minnesota I'd moan myself to death. I did get out today and drove around and managed not to kill myself. I thought about going for a bike ride but I probably can't pedal against sixty mile an hour (100kph) winds, so getting home dragging the bicycle might have been a bit embarrassing. I went out to breathe some fresh air on the back deck and the wind started to try to undress me which didn't feel that good. Ike is 200 miles away and aiming to wreck Galveston and where these winds are coming from I can't imagine. You'd think they'd have urgent business out in the Gulf of Mexico planning pillage elsewhere, not wasting their energy here.
My wife called and had a great day walking the streets of Istanbul shopping. She said she's seen enough mosques to last a life time and she's bringing me a box of real Turkish delight made with honey. At least she doesn't have to sleep in a tin can rattling like a corrugated iron roof in a hailstorm.
I'm taking a tylenol pm and retreating to my bed. I am not in a good mood. I can't imagine how grumpy they are down south though.
