  • Windy Day Chip Tip!

    So, you'd like to enjoy some light, crisp, potato chips on your roof deck or patio, but the wind is blowing them right out of the bowl. That was happening to me on the patio of the apartment we were renting in Provincetown. And, being a rental, it didn't have a large selection of containers to contain my snack.

    Ed came to my rescue by serving my chips in a tall glass. "Portion control" since I didn't want to have the whole bag out there tempting me.

    And, "wind control" since even the 20 knot winds that day didn't whip my chips out of the glass.

    Spend a few moments watching or trying to photograph the wreaths on Trinity Church, and you understand why Copley Square has had it's own scooterdude sailing around the park.

    I hope these bows are well attached, because they were really whipping around in the wind.

    If and when winter arrives, remember to plan your walks in Boston around wind speed in Copley Square.
