Saturday Afternoon Windstorm

We avoided the windstorm by driving to Nanaimo. When he came back, it was in full swing. We went to Dallas Road to check it out. Poor 52lb. Alice is still airborne.

HA HA HA HA HA!!! That's some grip you've got on that post there, Mike. Anyway, Alice's flight will give her something else to tell her psychologist in 20 years' time.

Why Etsy Sucks
