The wind did not stop when the sun went down. We went to the talk on black holes and it was very good. The speaker is a astrophysicist from CalTec. We sat in folding chairs we brought and the wind continued to blow. When we got up to leave, the bag for one of the chairs was blown away, never to be seen again.
