The high winds scare me but I need the breeze.

The wind was (and is now) blowing very strongly today. Left the office for a lunchtime walk via the a stairwell door onto the loading dock where the wind barreled over the adjoining retaining wall. I had to push the door open while it felt as though it would crush me if I didn't slip through quick enough. From there on the air was roaring about seemingly everywhere. I managed to get about a quarter mile while mostly hanging onto my hat with one hand as the other hand regularly guarded my glasses from flying off my face. Finally I had enough, peeled back from my original destination, cut down a couple of streets toward and into the Old Port, ducked into a corner Starbucks for a grande dark and settled onto a stool at a window bar-top to people watch before rejoining the battle at the cube farm.
