Well, THIS would suck, if it were unusual...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN [REDACTED] HAS ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 6 PM MST WEDNESDAY.

A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY WILL BRING VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TO PORTIONS OF [REDACTED}. WESTERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 45 TO 50 MPH WILL DEVELOP DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...LASTING THROUGH THE DAY. IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG WINDS...AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND THE ADVISORY AREA. MOTORISTS SHOULD USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING IN THESE AREAS AS VISIBILITIES MAY BE IMPACTED BY THE BLOWING DUST.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 TO 39 MPH...OR GUSTS FROM 40 TO 57 MPH...ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. CONSIDER SECURING LOOSE BELONGINGS ON YOUR PROPERTY.
So, basically, tomorrow will be a spring day...

Nice of them to let me know, though.

Hey it's my birthday .... you wanted Mother Nature to just say .... congrats .... with no fireworks ?

Well OK .... skip the lightning storm, a bunch of wind ought to remind folks of that .... that blowhard .... me. :big grin:

Sorry to hear about Butch.
None of the neighbors have any female felines huh ?

I had one male cat who literally fogged himself to death.
He didn't eat for two weeks chasing that sweet stuff around making baby kitties day and night. Then he just fell over after I tried to feed him. {Nope, not joking ... raises right hand .} The vet says "It is rare BUT it does happen."

edit to add ....
Sorry Joel. I posted without realizing that my photo would be attached by the friendly folks at Google.
This is that same post but without the stomach wrenching photo attached.

Not nearly close enough for him to know about or get to safely, no.

There was talk that, horny as he was getting, he might go try to make the acquaintance of some lady bobcat. If he did, he likely got the praying mantis treatment.

Guess that'll teach me not to put off getting the next one neutered, I guess.
