(Not) Gone With The Wind

What was it we were just saying about paying close attention to the weather? Something about how weather advisories can change your plans?

Today's expected departure from Kerrville has been delayed by six words: High Wind Warning; Blowing Dust Advisory.

We made a pledge long ago to not travel during a high wind warning. Now, if it would be a tailwind we'd consider it. But, we'd be fighting 50 mph-plus gusts head on most of the way, and crosswise the last hour or so. Throw some blowing dust into the mix and only one thing is crystal clear. Today is not the day to drive into West Texas.

Wednesday's forecast calls for cooler temps and a 5 to 10 mph tailwind. Much better.

After all...tomorrow is another day.

Good idea. How different it would be if you were "on vacation!"
