Too often lately it seems the humidity and the lack of a breeze intensifies the oppressive heat.  My cure for the climate change induced attack on humankind is simple.

Within a short walking distance there is a bridge and if I walk to the exact center and stand  at the rail looking up river  - I'll catch a slight breeze on bad days and a nice breeze on average days ... but I really enjoy the windy days when I have to grab my Mets cap to keep it from being torn away by a gust of wind.

Wind cleanses my mind and invigorates my spirit ... and when the wind has a chilly bite and is strong enough to cause you to catch your breath and you are forced to turn your back to it - it is at it's very best!

I can recall once needing to walk backwards all the way to school in the face of a blinding howling blizzard - in order to be able to breath!

Why was I going to school? - I'm not sure  - but I was greeted in the school gym by a number of other red cheeked hardy souls like myself.
