They say (the omnipresent "they") that the wind only blows twice a year in the Colorado River valley below Las Vegas...6 months from the North, and 6 months from the South. I'm starting to think that there's some truth to that. After living around here for 35+ years, I never really paid attention to wind speed until recently (flying!). Every ****** weekend. Blow, blow, blow. I'd really like to get more time in the air, but 40-50 mph gusts are not my friend. By the time it calms down, it'll be too stinkin' hot to get any lift!!!
