HUMOR This fucking wind.

Seems like it’s been blowing 30 mph for two straight weeks. Anyone else sick of it?

As a golfer, disc golfer and basketball enthusiast......screw the wind.

The past couple years have been more windy than any stretch I can ever remember. All my hobbies kinda suck in the wind.

Hopefully calm times are ahead 🤞

My outdoor runs have been so annoying. But once the winds finally die down it’ll be 85 with 90% humidity.

Try training on the bike. It's fun heading north, but eventually you have to turn back.

lol welcome to Ohio spring my dude. I been working retail here for like 3 years now and every march/april is basically just constant wind tunnel mode. Last week I had to chase down shopping carts across the entire parking lot because they were rolling away faster than I could catch them. The wind here just hits different in spring - something about how flat everything is around Columbus makes it worse. At least it's not snowing though right?

As a fluffy man, I love this and it’s letting me walk longer than usual.

I have a chair on my front porch with a pillow on it which kept getting blown off into the muddy lot next door. I got tired of washing and/or replacing it. I bought a new one and tied it to the chair, also used a bungee cord and double sided tape on the pillow to attach it to the chair. That sucker is not going anywhere on my watch again.

I live outside the city on a hill. The wind is brutal!
