Kansas Is Windy

We went for a bike ride around the town of Smith Center this morning--literally, from the north end of town to the south and from the east to the west. Not difficult to do with such a small town. We stopped at a flea market in town and saw lots of old collectibles, and lots of junk! The wind was kicking up enough dust that the horizon looked a bit fuzzy, almost like smog.

The sad result of the Kansas wind sweeping across the prairie is that our satellite internet dish blew over, warping the dish. We have not had any problems with stability of our dishes in so long that we had neglected to stake them down here. Another lesson that is likely to be rather expensive. We'll have to order a new dish.
