They weren't constant though, just a couple of times a year.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-60515799206489325822014-03-04T07:32:18.670-07:002014-03-04T07:32:18.670-07:00Shaken.

In Saskatchewan I could tie my back-of-the-knee length hair in multi-elastics or braid it and hope for the best. When we moved to Lethbridge that pony-tail or braid would whip around my throat like a hangman's noose. It wasn't long before I was wearing it wound around my head in a coronet! It's true that the wind there never stops - it just changes direction ... :D<br />moonepowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572164094729304289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-28716727382391828852014-03-03T08:19:39.702-07:002014-03-03T08:19:39.702-07:00You are a hardy breed!You are a hardy breed!Carol Cassarahttp://www.carolcassara.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-60228217355738832472014-03-03T07:56:10.743-07:002014-03-03T07:56:10.743-07:00Round about October chain a cement block to their ...Round about October chain a cement block to their ankles....that'll slow them down in a wind storm lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
