AND THEY CALL THE WIND MARIAH

It is 35 degrees and 6:32 a.m. here in the heartland and Patrick got up and went back to sleep with junior on a couch downstairs. 68 and cloudy in Palm Harbor Fla. with winds out of the SW at 1.0 MPH.

We had roaring winds and rain here last night. My estimate was steady at 40 knots with gusts to 55--Whole Gale force.

The house actually shook. We are still under flood advisories and wind warnings. Welcome to Dorothy land.

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind

So I went to the corner
Just to ease my pain
Yeah, just to ease my pain
I got troubles, whoa-oh
U got rosy cheeks, whoa-oh
I came home again

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind

And I got a feelin'
Down in my shoes, said
Way down in my shoes
Yeah, I got to ramble, whoa-oh
I got to move on, whoa-oh
I got to walk away my blues

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
You were on my mind
I got troubles, whoa-oh
I got worries, whoa-oh
I got wounds to bind

When I woke up this morning
You were on my mind
