23 Degrees and Windy

Clouds in the mountains, but no snow right now. There was snow -- a ton of it -- but it appears to have melted. Lots of greenery; maybe they're evergreens. Too windy though. Some trees have no leaves at all but some have nearly all of their leaves (like the close ones that you can see well enough such that you know that they're not evergreens they just haven't lost their leaves yet). You can see some buildings on the mountain and you imagine it's some village and they lead a very simple life. But it's probably cold up there (at least colder than here). Clouds have shifted but still remain principally over and around the (those) mountains. Other mountains' areas remain clear. In fact, clouds are everywhere now. Throat clearing (ALL the time; all the time throat clearing). Finger tapping; mouse scroller scrolling (very rapidly). E-mail alert pops up, you click on it, it's nothing important. Wind appears to have died down. Oh no, wait, it hasn't. It's even stronger than before. Why are those big thick clouds sticking around that one peak? Must be some (hydro)meteorological/atmospheric explanation. La Cialdian Espresso packs (7g) make a single tiny coffee and contain (throat clear again with heavy sigh afterwards) I dunno... guessing here... probably 3 tons of plastic to throw away afterwards. Nespresso (you know them) is probably more evil than Ikea, Wal-Mart and Bain Capital all tied into one (well, maybe don't include Bain). Window is open and papers flutter but don't fly off the desk.. not enough therefore to say something. Real damage has to be done otherwise you're just complaining for nothing. But if you just let things go until something happens then eventually something will happen. It's like saying you're fine not wearing a seat belt until you get into a car crash: following my fiery broken-neck induced car crash death, I will then begin wearing a seat belt. Clouds have shifted slightly and ambient cloud cover in general remains stable; it's no brig- (very loud throat clear) -hter than it was before. The sun is not directly visible but one could locate it by finding the brightest spot in the sky (or being minimally-versed in [children's-level] astronomical sciences). Wind is so heavy that it's loud inside. Forms (mouse scrolling heavily from several locations) need to be filled out. Draft being saved. The probability of a child being abducted in the US from the street is less than 0.000000001 % and of those about half end up dead. In attempting to reduce that number to 0 parents over-parent by (inter alia) driving their child to school introducing more cars on to the road and thereby increasing the likelihood of car accidents and the child mortality rate increases to higher than it would have been if the kid had taken his/her chances with the kidnappers. Not allowing them to walk/ride to school also increases (loud cough) the number of fat kids / diabetes and more kids die too. Sandi says: people who read this are going to think you're weird!!!
