Let's Go Fly A Kite

Why is the sky blue? Why to the trees grow up? Where is the sun? Why are there colors? How does the wind blow?

These are some questions that you may hear your child as you in some point in your life. I know this because I was once a child and wondered these very things. Since I have gone through years of public education, I have accumulated answers to these simple questions but today, I still wonder why the wind blows.

I knew it had to be something with the sun but I didn't know exactly how. Normally I wouldn't care about stuff like this but today is an exception.

Idaho wind has fallen over Rexburg.

I checked the weather forecast for today and it is a beautiful, sunny 53 degrees today with wind from WSW at 41 MPH gusting to 53 MPH! Yup, that's right. Imagine trying to hang on to a wing of a plane as it is flying and that is what it feels like right now.

This wind means business.

Tyler and I were hunched over as we walked to class against the wind. My hair is pretty crazy and I have dirt in my eyes and teeth.


Darn you wind!

Coincidentally, it is also devo day and a lot of girls wore skirts. Suckers.
