So there was a colossal windstorm on Monday. Winds reached 120 mph in the 
mountain passes and I don't know how much down here. My study window is 
literally the last edge of the city - there is nothing past me except 
fields and hills up to the mountains. So there's no windbreak, and when 
some piece of grit got caught up in the wind, it smashed right into my 
window and literally "blew" it into fragments.

There was nobody in the room at the time, but with glass everywhere, 
everything dusty and wet, the room is still pretty much unusable. :-) I 
just got my computer set up out in the living room and thankfully nothing 
is damaged.

All of which is to say: I have 198 emails to go through, so if there was 
anything I was supposed to see, please be patient!
