Message of the Day – Wind
I took this picture last Sunday afternoon.It was really windy. A gray kind of day.
Leaves had been thrust through the chain line fence at Crystal Lake's Main Beach.
They tried to get through, but were not as successful as the wind was cutting through my thin Heartland Blood Centers jacket.
Heartland more or less traded it to me, along with a bar-b-cue apron and cooking utensils, for four pints of blood.

Message of the Day – A Tire
This one was swinging in a blizzard-like wind across the street from the northeast corner of the Dole Mansion, also known as Lakeside Center when I picked up my son from his Mad Scientist rocket building class this afternoon at 4:40.The wind was so hard that the tire was swinging back and forth, back and forth…seemingly all by itself.
Like a pendulum in a grandfather clock.
Enlarge the photos by clicking on them and you can see the angle of the rope.

Message of the Day – Wind
No, I didn’t drive up to the Harvard area to take a picture of damage done by the tornado that forced Crystal Lake South School students into the basement from 3:30 to 4 yesterday afternoon.You’ll have to settle for this blown over plastic globe sitting in front of a home in Lake in the Hills.
It was New Year’s Day when I took one of my son’s home and got this picture.
That’s when it was still winter, not in the sixties.
