I listened to KMJ today because they had the big march from Mendota to Firebaugh. Heard several of the politicians try to speak over the wind in the phone to the radio station. At one point ex-mayor Jim said the wind was louder than the one speaking. So, it was windy. On the local news later today they should have videos of how windy it was.

How windy was it?
It was so windy you could hear voices in your head telling you that a coalition between Republicans and Farm workers will turn out just peachy.

Must've been a lot of dust blowing out there, too.
