The Wizard of Oz, 1939, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

We’ve postponed Kansas. It’s the problem with spring on the Plains: weather. Growing up on the Plains you assume everybody has tornado cellars and tornado sirens and knows the name of the weather man on the local news channel, because no other threat is as real. L. Frank Baum got that part right, though I think he may have made up the part about Oz.

Kris found a wind map of the US on Tuesday that showed the continent east of the Rockies as a massive wind vortex, with the center at Wichita, Kansas. The forecast for the weekend isn’t better, it’s more wind with thunderstorms, and fighting wind and lightning isn’t a winning proposition, with or without a fly rod.

So we’ll go to Alabama instead.
