Tempete de 2009 - It's Windy

It’s been a long and windy day. I am not allowed to go outside because my mom is panicking. The department has banned car travel until further notice. We can see three healthy trees fallen from the winery loft. We assume we’re going to be clearing out a lot of trees. Hopefully nothing damages the vines or trellis system. A big one fell in the Syrah.

At least I can still drink.

Sometimes I stay inside all day voluntarily. But when it’s forced upon me, I go ga ga. To demonstrate, a recent Garfield Minus Garfield comic:
