Leaves are coming off the trees today fellas

Damn it's windy.

East Lansing got this 3 minute torrential wind/rain storm probably right around 5:55 am.. I happened to be right in the middle of it. Flipped on the news when I got home and wind gusts were 51 mph.

I was driving my kid to dance at 6:30.   I drove the silverado today.  I'm telling you it shook the truck around like it was nothing.  Haven't been home since.  I'm thinking that I'll be able to just grab the leaves trapped against the fence.  Hope so.

If it moved through EL around 5:55, as I previously documented, 6:30 for your area seems about right... it was freakin' crazy out there.

If you were just out by yourself jogging in that shit, it could have slammed the shit out of you no doubt.   A wet leaf hit my window and scared the shit out of me.  Sounded like it was a rock

yeah - it was pretty rough out but I've ventured out in more treacherous conditions than that before. I've had eyelashes frozen together before.. .. frozen hair, etc. Ice pellets hitting my skin, feeling like little needles.. Heat-related stuff, too - but I actually prefer the cold over the heat any day.

I have to do something.. I don't sit still real well.

That morning shitstorm really rattled my pumpkins.

I'm referring, of course, to my balls.

Your post made me think of that assassin dude in Angels and Demons that tortured himself. I don't know why.
