Monster wind

I found out what a ‘60 mph wind’ is like ..it’s a wild beast that howls through the canyon at night ..with jaws that gnash anything that hasn’t got sense enough to get out of the way. Like me, I spent the night staring at the ceiling ..imagining what a ten ton eucalyptus tree would feel like ..and wondering what the odds are of surviving the wind storm in a pickup truck on highway 101. I spent the morning clearing debris from a path of destruction coming right up to my door step ..and singing a tune, out loud, over and over ..that goes something like: ‘The sun will shine in my back door someday ..the sun will shine in my back door someday ..March winds will come and blow my troubles away..’
