You know it's windy outside when the water in your toilet bowl is either pulsing or gone. The wind gusts right now are 43mph and the Weather Service says to expect frequent gusts over 65mph. Yow! Had a nice experience on the way to work - the Lake Forest Oasis had free coffee and Krispy Kremes! Wooo hooo!!!! Then the parking lot at work is official half done, as they were asphalting the piece that they didn't do a week or so ago. I walked across it and it was still snapping and crackling from the heat of the steamroller (whose driver waved me into a parking place). Well, even though we lost our recycling bins to the wind (though we found two others and claimed them), I'm hoping the house will stay intact during the winds tonight.
