Wind

Winter is creeping in, every day is colder than the previous. Today the temperature wasn't really low, but the wind made it almost unbearable to stay outside. I am not a tiny person, but I really had to lean into the wind during my run, so it won't blow me off the path. This Summer had been the wettest, rainiest, cloudiest one of more than a decade of summers I spent in Canada. Every sunny moment we treasure this year, because they are so rare.

I saw the TV footage from Barcelona today--it's snowing there! The cars are sliding on the roads, people slipping on the sidewalks. I'm half sorry for them and half glad that those impolite suckers who spoiled our vacation got an early bite of Winter.
