wind

this morning the wind is blowing hard. it is raining. the snow is melting. some of the firewood is still
stuck to the ground. the snow plow couldn't see the wood pile under the snow a week ago. it hit one of the wood piles.
the wind makes a loud sound this morning. i understand why they say it howls. i understand why they say it sounds like a freight train. the freight trains carry the 'containers' to all the big stores that put mom & pop out on the street. no matter how much the people gave then support it didn't work, they still ended up on the street. more jobs were lost fro the small mom & pop businesses.
main st is almost dead. closed store fronts with for sale or for rent signs sometimes both are in the windows. it is so empty.
