"Day 2. If Inuit have 50 words for snow, I’m pretty sure I now have 100 descriptives for wind. There’s rattle the windows wind. There’s feels like the Look Out will slide down the hillside wind. There’s slight breeze through the Manzanita bushes. There’s okay, this building was built in 1937 with single paned windows. What are the odds they’d all break now on my watch wind. There’s billowing. There’s roaring. I’ll save you from any more description now."       – Margaret Elysia Garcia
