Everyone knows...

 

... it's windy.

If you said, "The Association, 1967," you get 25 bonus points.  If you said, "It's always windy on the south Texas coast," you are correct, but no bonus points.

We are in day 3 of windier than normal weather, and it looks like it will be around for at least 3 more days.  I have been getting out early for a bicycle ride, before the wind builds.  Then, pretty much cocooning the rest of the day.  Lots of dust in the wind (if you said, "Kansas, 1977," you get 10 more bonus points), so it isn't much fun to be out in it.

According to our local TV news, it hasn't stopped people from heading to the beach.  Yesterday was the first day of "Texas being open 100%" by our Governor.  So much for the plans that the City Council on South Padre Island had in mind for a more "family friendly" spring break.  Next week will be Texas Week, the week that the majority of Texas schools will be out for break.  And no restrictions on occupancy, crowd size, or distancing... just recommendations.

It was right after spring break last year that our county clamped down on closures and restrictions... yeah, get the money, and worry about the public health later.  I guess they didn't learn anything from this past year.
