Now I’m a Believer

So sorry for the lack of blogging! Things have been a little nuts since my return from vacation and I’m still waiting for them to normalize. In the mean time stuff continues to pile up, so I'll be officially busy for the next little while. *sigh* Oh, and Sweden and England posts are soon to come!

Anyway yes, I admit to being in the wrong and am now a believer. There, I said it. What changed my mind? Well, I think that would have to be the moment Sunday night when, as I fought my way through the wind on my way to meet friends, I actually had to put my full weight against it in order to keep moving forward. I laughed aloud. It was windy for three days straight, and that instance, for me, was the pinnacle. In short, I can no longer deny that this region has a persistent, exceptional wind all its own.

But I still maintain that it's silly to refer to lesser regional windiness by the name Mistral just because the term is sometimes merited. Wind here is mostly just that, but I'll give them the term on this and other extreme occasions. :o)
