With the power to wear away mountains

Today: 62 C (143.6 F) and sunny - absolutely beautiful for middle of fucking winter
Wind: 50 mph (80.5 kph) and not as sunny as it should be because of all the dust and trash being blown up into the air
Almost getting knocked onto your ass while walking: funny
Watching a dove try and fly: hilarious
Hearing the wind screech through the window sill: eerie
Trying to drive on the highway with wind gusts: worrisome
Getting run off the road by an ass driver that crosses three lanes of traffic suddenly and without warning: KILL KILL KILL
*Note: I and my car are fine. The jackass was cutting across three lanes of traffic in order get into a highway exit lane that he was about to miss (read: 4 lanes total). Unfortunately, my car was in the second of these lanes. He didn't hit my car, but was within inches of it and caused me to move across one lane of traffic myself and then into the exit lane, missing the middle divider median by a scant 5 feet while going 60 mph and taking a curved exit at full speed ahead. He still missed his exit SINCE MY CAR WAS IN HIS WAY, which at least gave me a small sense of "serves you right." Overall I was lucky and shaking and had to make a brief detour onto the wrong freeway for a bit, but this is one of those times that I really hope that karma exists.
