Man is it windy. This room is shaking from the wind coming in off the lake, so much so that my monitor is jiggling on the desk here. Online sources say wind at 18-23 mph, but I wouldn’t be surprised if right here we’re getting it even faster, coming across the lake and then up the hill.
Better go bolt down everything not already tied down.
I totally thought you were trying to get in touch with auntie em. Where is she these days? I hope she didn’t get blown away! :eek:
Anyways. 
Last night the wind was so bad that my house was moving back and forth. Granted, I live near the beach, so my house is up on those silly stilt things, but sheesh. It’s somewhat disconcerting to wake up because you’re getting motion sickness from the movement of your house.
I was waiting for the bus last night, on Sherbrooke, and all of a sudden, we saw a recycling box.
Yes, a recycling box was travelling down the street. All by itself (with the wind, of course). It must have gone at least three blocks.
Awww, I thought you were looking for auntie em too. Where is she?
And yes, my Rav4 almost blew off the Mass Pike this morning!
The original “Auntie Em” killed herself by taking sleeping pills and putting a plastic bag over her head. A fun bit of trivia that you can bring out at your next Wizard of Oz viewing.
While starting The Dark Side of the Moon album on the third lion’s roar?
Just kidding-it’s just that the sleeping pills and plastic bag thing sounds like the kind of thing that Unca Cece himself might debunk!

Unless Clara Blandick pulled off on the most convincing hoaxes of the century, I’d say it is pretty well a sure bet that she killed herself by taking sleeping pills and putting a plastic bag over her head.
Oh-I believed ya, plnnr!
I was just saying that it sounded like an urban legend-type scenario.
