Wind Returns

I hate to beat a dead horse, but the winds have returned after only one day of relative calm. I got up in the middle of the night to raise our awning again and we are now receiving 14-17 mph steady winds with gusts to 26-28. It's hard to believe that such a change could occur after having a couple months of just occasional winds. There appears to be some strange and unusual weather patterns everywhere, so this is probably just a freak. I hope so. We (Josie) did get another nice shot of the sunset last night:

There are errands to run today as the main activity. When Josie is working so many hours, it's tough to get a lot done during the week. We will make a trip to the grocery store along with a stop at the bank. One thing we miss while in Jackson is a local Bank of America which we have here just down the street. There are none at all in Wyoming which makes one wonder why Bank of America doesn't want to do business there. We also will stop at the post office to pick up Priority Mail envelopes and a couple boxes. Hopefully, all the Christmas presents will be sent today.

If the winds stop for an extended period this weekend, we may even get a bike ride in at a local trail that we have been wanting to travel. Brian told us about a bike trail that begins in his area and goes to Carefree, AZ which is a nice, long ride. We hope to give it a try...
