Note

Late afternoon/early evening run up top on snow trails. Estimated mid-20s, maybe lower, and it felt very pleasant and almost mild--at least by way of comparison with several more recent days. 1/3 visible moon gave plenty of light. Saw 2 runners, several dogs, and no skiers--even though a bus was parked in the parking lot with several dozen ski bags scattered on the snow at the trail head. Maybe cannibals got them all, maybe not. Probably not.

Of course the reason for it feeling so benign was a near absence of any detectable wind. These conditions can give rise to wild fantasies, not of debauchery, but of no wind. Of course that would leave the wind farms with little to do. Perhaps they could retrofit and become plump blueberry farms, or catfish houseries. There must be something. In the meantime, the winds will be back soon enough, and resume their work of blowing off all of Wyoming's fines to some eastward location. The average statewide soil depth is less than 1/2 inch. It wouldn't even be that much except that some coffee drinkers insist on scattering their coffee grounds in their yards.
