I have no tolerance for bomb throwers spouting politics right now.

sorry, didn't mean to turn you into a grumpy old fart.

Nah, it wasn't you. I happened to be in Bourne and Falmouth today, and if someone is claiming that it never gusted to more than 45 on the Vineyard today, then I'm raising this:

Because it's STILL gusting more than 45 in freaking Buzzards Bay.

At 4:30 PM there were measured gusts to 66 at Hyannis airport.
