Windy weather

I was out walking on Thursday because it was a "nice day," when I felt a shove like someone trying to push me away -- hard.  Then the wind tried to grab my Rollator, which I quickly pushed off the sidewalk onto the grass.  The wind, shoving me like an assailant, then tried to blow the contents out of the basket on the Rollator seat.  While I shoved downward with my hands, that wind actually tried to take the whole basket.  I hurried home as fast as the wind would let me, and I literally have not left the building since then.  It was awful!  (By the way, those trees above are not like our trees, but they show a strong wind blowing wherever they are.)

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis ~ by J. D. Vance, 2018, memoir, 264 pages

I wrote about this book HERE, when J.D. was nominated to run as Trump's VP, and tt originally got only one comment.  Helen said, "How did I not put together that the author and the VP candidate are the same person? I'm so embarrassed. I thought the book was good but not great."  It's technically "good" (as in college-level words and writing), but I am struggling to keep going.

Here's what I have posted this week:

1. On Monday, I mused about a book set in the Smithsonian, HERE.
2. On Tuesday, I showed two views of the Mona Lisa, HERE.
3. Wednesday I wrote about Unicorn Day, HERE.
4. On Thursday, I was thinking about birds on our feeder, HERE.
5. On Friday, my book beginning was from a book about planning ahead for your own death, HERE.
