Happy Birthday in heaven Helen Michelle "Mitzy" Schrebe (May 23, 1973 - October 17, 1974.)
"Prompt: Write about any type of wind."
After taking Geology 157 (Oceanography} in undergraduate school along with studying weather a little when I flew with the USAF Auxiliary I understand wind a little better. When the lower atmosphere heats the air rises, which then forces the air it is displacing to move. This causes wind. Of course, there are other important factors too. I just know that on a hot summer day I like a cooling breeze to blow. During the winter, when the temperatures plunge I prefer not to have the wind.
I remember one night when the wind got really strong. I was living in a mobile home at the time and feared for a few seconds that the wind might tip it over. It did not tip my house but it did blow my transformer. The line came down, shorting the transformer, which caught fire. It was as bright as day at midnight from the arc coming from that transformer! My wife and I did not leave the house until the power was off and it was safe to do so. It was frightening for a while.
Prompt: "What is something you like to do that other people might think is “weird?”"
Okay you asked so I'm going to tell you. I have always been attracted to women who are 1/3 my own age. Well, I can't say I've always been attracted to them. It started after I buried my wife who was 3 years older than me. Then I buried my ex-wife who was seven years younger. Now if I date at all it will only be a woman in her 20s because I don't want to bury another.
Prompt: "Memorial Day! Do you have a loved one or know someone who gave their life while serving their country?"
I personally do not but I live at the West Virginia Veterans Home in Barboursville WV with guys who sacrificed a lot to serve their country.
