Howlingwind

Hello folks,

I had just gotten permission to go off the compound this evening, and I relish the opportunity to get out and see the town and get some food from outside my little enclave here--maybe buy some peaches, oranges, apples, etc. for the next few days until I have the change to get out.

And there were four guards assigned to come out with me, but they just called to cancel the mission, as the wind is blowing too much--visibility on the street is down to 100 meters.

The wind outside is blowing really hard, dusty, dusty, dusty.

I am glad that we decided to take this day off from boys' soccer. It is a serious wind-storm out there.

There is a song by the Alarm: Howling Wind

Here are the lyrics:

Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"son, you'll reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love
Deep undying true love i sow

There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There's a guitar and a bugle
I hear the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
(love on)
Love on this wasteland
I cannot find

And there is a howl howl howling wind
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

There is virtue truth abounding
Peace will come to everyman
And there's a landmark on the skyline
There is a sign standing in the road
Sail on my brother
Sail on through the night
(love on)
Love on this wasteland is waiting on down the line

And there is a howl howl howling wind
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days in the howling wind
In the howling wind

Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"son, you'll reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love, my love
Deep undying true love's what i sow

There's a howl howl howling wind
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

And there's a howl howl howling wind
A ringing around my ears
And there's a wild wild wind is a blowing
Tearing down my tears

There seems to be a problem with my computer, as whenever I type in the Title bar for this post, all the characters show up as 'question marks'. I tricked the thing into letting me use an 'all-one-word' version of the intended title Howling Wind.

Hope I can sort that out.

Love and peace to all.
