May the wind be always at your back

Today is one of those days I am reminded of the Irish Blessing in which the speaker hopes 'the wind may always be at your back.' The truth is that there are unbelievably strong winds sometimes here in Ireland. Sometimes I wear my iPod earpieces less because I want to listen to music and more because I don't want to get an earache from the wind.

And I know Dublin is nothing compared to other parts of the country. I know two different people who experienced being held up by the wind on the west coast. I could try that here, but the wind is less sustained and more gusty. I think I would rather just stay out of it as much as possible at the moment.
