News flash. Yesterday was windy. Those of you with hair in your eyes probably know that. In fact the highest wind gust caught at the airport was 50 mph.  When it's that windy the air blows up your nose like water when you dive feet first. Today, however, I could hardly walk in my yard without crushing a plump pecan. The wet weather this year gave birth to greatest bumper crop of sweet pecans I have ever seen. It is amazing what the wind turns up. On Cache Road that orange netting used to seal off a construction site was flapping across the street. Many of you have assorted grocery bags and advertising circulars in your bushes. And leaves from trees that don't grow for blocks from your house. In our state, wind is the great equalizer. There is no sense in raking because soon your leaves will be everyone else's. And just because you have no tress doesn't mean you don't own a rake.

BTW: Rumor has it that the early forecast for Thanksgiving shows a tossup between frigid rain and sleet. Get ready for winter!
