It was a windy day in Ottawa today. How windy you ask? Well, walking up to my building after getting off of the bus I happened to glance up and see a garbage bag blown over the top by my building (I live in a 12 story building). I thought that was impressive but figured it probably blew off of a balcony on one of the upper floors. I did not think anything else of it and headed upstairs.

Once inside I headed to my room to change out of my work clothes. As I walked into my room I noticed that one of my curtains was missing. The window was open and which let a nice breeze come into the room. I went over to the window to retrieve the curtain from the floor...but it was not there. I look around the room but there are not many places you can hide a 72 by 40 piece of fabric...oh oh!

I dashed back downstairs and out the font of the building. There on the grass piled in a heap was my curtain. It had gathered a bit of debris however not too badly damaged considering it had been ripped out of my room and blown over my building.

All I can say is I'm glad I caught that bus home today as I normally catch the next bus. If I had been 15 minutes later I think my room would have been much brighter tonight.
