The wind started here in the albaturkey about noon, it's been consistently at 35 mph with gusts to 55. There is nothing but sand in the air, you can't breath or see, the cooling system isn't working, the house is airless other than floating dust. I am STRESSED. (it's supposed to slowdown about 9 this evening)
We put in some new plants in the garden this morning, I'm quite sure they are now dead.
Nothin to do, but kick back with a cold Lone Star and wait it out.
So am I dys, and I'm not certain why, exactly.
Checking in, joining the depressed club.
Me too, me too.
Well, tonights ok, but otherwise...
Yeah, Edgars advice sounds sound... and I do hope the wind'll let up soon, Dys.
Well, well, well..... at least you don't have lice!
Well, littleK. It's not a sin to get lice, but it's a sin to keep 'em.
Find yerself someone to kick in the face.
That should improve things.
In fact...just remembering the last time you kicked someone in the face should bring about a lotta improvement.
But, Frank. New Jersey's do wop motels are endangered. Doesn't that depress you?
We have those kind of days, when waiting to see if a hurricane is coming to our town, or up the road a piece. After the innitial flurry of activity, everything stands still, sometimes for days. At least there's no dust in the air. Lone Star cures most blues.
Up the line, in Pueblo, the patients in the State Hospital get extra tranks when the spring winds blow.
The winds generate an excess of positive ions which has a negative effect on certain sensitive people.
Air conditioning also generates positive ions.
You have my sympathy.
So, does Dys need negative ions or tranqs?
(pondering where one might purchase negative ions, and can they be shipped?)
Dys - Hope the winds have died down for you. Hold on to yer hat, whatever you do!
I was out in those winds, to order tile, depressing in itself, the price I mean.
So, the thing about swamp coolers, I'm learning, is that you have to have a window partly open in the front of the house and one in the back of the house. Dys can explain why for me, some of nature's magic. It was a little warm today, even I put the swamp cooler on. But then... big gusts of dust whap on in the windows..
dys, you could get in your car and drive up to visit me!
So Dys, did you have a sandwich for dinner tonight?
What you need to do, Osso, is start shutting down the windows, preferably on the upwind side. When you get it right, the pressure in the house is higher than outside, so the dust doesn't blow in - barring those 50 mph gusts. Much, but maybe not all the incoming air is cleaned by the dust being trapped on the wet filter pads, which you will have to change from time to time, anyway.
