Damn Gale Force Winds!

[Andrew Breecher]

Ironically, the strongest winds seem to be in populated areas. I walked the breadth of the USA, and only in "civilisation" were the gusts the sort that lifted the kilt. Out in the woods and mountains, the breezes seem to flow steadily, whereas in cities and towns the buildings channel the wind in quick gusts so they blow kilts up.

The worst times are: going into subway tunnels, exiting trolleys and busses, exiting buildings, and when large automobiles pass by on the road.

Mostly, though, I just don't care. I've walked over subway gratings in the street and pulled a total "Marilyn Monroe" and just laughed and said "Whoops!" and carried on.

Andrew.
