Wind
Wind. I love to sleep to the sound of it. (A good thing when we lived in very windy Deming, NM). Riding a bike into the wind is not so much fun. I just got an inexpensive odometer for my bike. It also shows my speed. Heading into an 18 mph headwind this morning, I knew I could walk that fast. (I'm pretty fast with my cane.) Coming home with a tail wind, however, I was hitting speeds on my 'coaster' (one-speed) bike that people with multi-speed bikes get up to! My legs could barely keep up. Right now, it is again windy and rainy. Lovely weather to just be inside by the fire. How cozy.

I like the wind, as long as I don't care what my hair looks like or if I might get blown off a mountain or something. When I climbed Mt. Fuji (I blogged about it, "Sunrise") I was nearly blown off a few times. Not such a light weight now though. Ooh, and I hate biking into the wind, that is the worst.
Very cozy. :)
You climbed Mt. Fuji! Wow--I will go read about it. I climbed Mt. San Jacinto (CA)--and I still have my Squirrel Card to prove it.
I love wind too. Especially when it's blowing at night. For some reason that always makes me sleep really well. Thunderstorms do the same thing.
