Weather It Is (H-Cow Batman: those were flying "Kipot.")

Summer just doesn't want to come.  After a brief warm-up today, winds gusted strongly out of the west, ushering in much cooler air.  In an amazing feat of flying, kippot (Yarmulkes) became air born in Neve Daniel and landed on the heads of the unsuspecting in Efrat, just to the east (but across a rather large valley).  Of course, these heads were already empty, as Kippot were seen flying eastward (hopefully) from Efrat to Tekoa on strong winds.

The winds were so strong that those who were fortunate to have covered pools were soon to find out that their pools were uncovered.  This is much worse than having a kippa fly off and reveal a bald head, instead of a Toupe.

In any case, the winds should subside a bit, but looking ahead another storm should approach on Friday and then winds will pick up again in its wake.

In summary, the weather will not be too cool or too warm, and unless there is a concerted effort by towns located through Israel to return all the Kippot to their rightful owners, Kippot stores are going to be doing a brisk and very good business for the next week or two.  By the way, I lost my favorite Kippa right before our winter's only real snow.  If you've seen that, please return -- thank you.

I also have an hub cap that someone lost, and I saw another one on David Ha Melech Street near the bench up on the way to the Efrat Matnas.  These would make good Kippot, except they're a bit large.
