Windy’s 300th Day Stuck in the Tree
Fun, Windy January 16th, 2009Today marks the 300th day that our bag Windy has been stuck in the tree outside my building at work. I’ll have you know I braved single-digit temperatures and an intense fear of heights to get this shot.
No one is surprised anymore to see me out on the roof. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
Enjoy!

hi Kathy,
Well, I’d better hit “Submit Comment” before I miss my chance.
Wow, I got here and there’s no comments yet! I could be first. Wow. I just don’t know what to say though. At least I’m not going to miss my chance like I did two posts ago. But I think I have comment writers block… c*r*a*p (not going to make that mistake again

hi Kathy,
1. Man, your moderation is touchy.
2. I took the time to play the video and I don’t hear anything. And yes, my volume is on. Does anyone else have this problem?

You Are Not Deaf Steve — I don’t know why you’re winding up in moderation, but never fear! I’ll release you! Well, there is now no audio with the video because YouTube slapped my hand over the snippet of music I put with it. Live and learn. It was Three Dog Night’s “One” (is the Loneliest Number). You’ll just have to imagine it.
January 16th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
We’re approaching my guess for how long it would be in the tree if my memory serves. And everyone thought I was crazy. In fact, didn’t you make fun of my guess? No, you would never do that…

hi Kathy,
Thanks for letting me out! Since my second comment didn’t get moderated, and I’ve never been moderated before, I’m going to guess it’s because of that “word”, even if there are astericks in it. I won’t do it again, though anyone else is welcome to try.
One is the Loneliest Number is an awesome song! And it would be perfect for the video. Sorry that didn’t work.

PS. I’m guessing this comment will breeze through too, which would confirm my guess, I think.

Wow, the first time I visited your blog you were taking bets on how long the bag would make it. Windy’s all grown up…and probably shellacked to the tree by now.

A brilliant piece of filmmaking, I must say, full of suspense, drama and action.
One question: let’s suppose the branch holding Windy falls to the ground, or, alternatively, the entire tree falls or has to be cut down. If Windy is still technically attached to the branch when this occurs, does this mean he (or she) is not longer “stuck in the tree”?

I SWEAR this is the last comment on the Youtube video. Watch Recorder dude on the far left. He only plays intermittently in the song and then he rocks out dancing to his own restrained drummer during the rest of the song.
Until it’s his turn to shine.

Kathy…you fail to mention that I, indeed, won with my prediction of last November. I remember walking past that tree on one brisk November morn to find Windy gone. I leapt with joy knowing that I had won this most coveted of contests.
Yet, later that day, the bag was back…staring at me menacingly, with an expression of smug satisfaction across its wrinkled plastic visage. It was then that I knew that it is alive, moving from tree to tree for the express purpose of tormenting plastic bag watchers everywhere.
Either that or maybe you’re a tree climber???

Lee — You are one of only two who are still in the running. You guessed July 13, 2009. I’d never make fun of you. In fact I thought you stood the best chance. I knew it would be many, many months. Maybe years!
Trade Show Guru Steve — I can’t believe that word put you in moderation, but who knows how Akistmet thinks? Yea, the song was great. I wish it would have played with the video.
ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily — Yes, Lee’s still in and so is Stephanie C (she guessed May 15, 2010).
dissblnd — I also keep a running day counter in my sidebar. I still want a live web cam, but logistics are getting in the way.
MamaO — I know, she looks so sad out there. I see her every day. She must be freezing and yet she keeps on keepin’ on!
rattln’ along — Oh, most definitely. I plan to have cake, party hats, the works.
frogmama — She’s sometimes twisted around a branch and looks like there’s nothing left. Then the wind will untwist her and she’ll shred a little more. I can’t quite tell if a piece of her came off. She still looks complete to me, though shredded.
unfortunate names — That’s thanks to Alan Bamboo. He named her (and he’s a she).
Chris Casey — Brace yourself. Some day there will be a eulogy. And you may have to read it because I’ll be incapacitated with grief.
Grandy — I never get so close to the edge that I look suicidal. Insane maybe, but not suicidal.
Jen — Oh, sorry to hear that you have to put up with a bag in a tree. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? If it’s there three months, count on many more.
Eric S. — She used to hang gently on two branches. If the wind had hit her just right, she might have been set free. But now that she’s all twisted, it’s gonna be a long time.
feefifoto — I’m just surprised the clip isn’t all shaky, as my heart is pounding the whole time and my knees go weak. If she’s still attached to the tree and said tree falls to the ground, she’s still stuck. But I would rescue her, put her in a frame and keep her forever. Not kidding.
violetteb — Funny! I would love to read about my antics in another’s blog. Or would I?
Turnips — She! Windy is a she! (I’ve already been chastised for getting it wrong myself).
JD at I Do Things — She hears you!!!!
cardiogirl — I would love to, except I’ll get my hand slapped again for copyright. I think I have to be sneakier about my YouTubing. Recorder Dude is awesome! And so is Tambourine Guy who looks like my accountant. What a great song!
Data Entry Services — I can’t believe Windy moves at all. I’m surprised she didn’t crack and shatter into pieces. A testament to the durability of plastic, I suppose.
BabaBooey — You are not the first person this has happened to. When you approach from the Taylor Gym side of the building, there’s a tree there that we always think is the one she’s stuck in. But it’s the one behind it, closer to the building. Maybe I’ll wrap a big ribbon about the trunk of the right tree and then everyone will wonder what it’s for (but we’ll know)!
absepa — What concerned me is that the snow was frozen solid. So exactly how crazy is it to walk on a slippery roof again?
Dorothy Stahlnecker — I’m hoping the weather is much nicer the next time I film, at the one year mark. There’s always some trepidation right before I go outside. The two degree weather certainly doesn’t help (although it makes me move a lot faster).
robert bourne — Oh, don’t even!
Prefers Her Fantasy Life — I remember that great scene, too. It shows it’s possible to see life in an inanimate object. Strange, eh?
Lin — It’s perfectly normal to stare at a tree flapping in the wind. So says me.
Regan — I shall keep chronicling her until the bitter end, whenever that may be. I know you’re counting on me, Regan.
BigPappa — Me too. Here’s the scene from the movie, for those who haven’t seen it.
Jodi — You may be saying the same thing a year from now.
carol at A Second Cup — There was a day last year where I stood a chance of getting her out, but I didn’t go for it. We had window washers at our building and I know their ladder could have reached the top of the tree. The same day, there was a machine raising large tents for an event. The purists among us voted to let her come down naturally.
storybeader — And my head would explode if I had to wait for anything else to get unstuck. I don’t know what I’ll do if another bag lands there. I’ll have to quit my job.
January 17th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Poor Windy.
S/he needs a friend up there maybe…
January 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
That’s a long time for a bag to be stuck in a tree. But I am familiar with events like these. A pair of shoes have been hanging by the strings on an electrical wire near my house for years (literally years!)
January 17th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Kathy,
Thank you for your dedication and support.
I, for one, am glad you see humor in everyday situations.
Windy sure is one tough bag!
January 17th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
How funny! It’s soul mate is in my tree, which is not a bag but a piece of rope. I never thought to name our rope! I guess I should. It’s been there for at least a year. I will post a picture of it for you on my blog
Anyway, this is a tag you’re it. I don’t know who started it or how I got tagged. The “rules” are to comment on six random blogs AND post a blog about six random things about yourself. A cute way to make the world smaller and stretch our boundaries.

I believe you. I’d keep her too. In college I was in a friend’s car when he had a fender bender and we were stuck in the suburbs for a couple of hours until someone came to the rescue because he’d had a flat tire and we couldn’t get the hub cap thingy off to change it because it was rusted on. When someone finally came to change the tire, I kept the bent cap thingy as a memento.

I am not happy! Not because of the bag, but because my Google Reader is NOT updating, even when I refresh. I only found this post via dropping
I’m thinking that moving over to it was a mistake! My Flock feed refreshed constantly. Moan over.
I think the bag will slowly rot away, leaving tiny remnants there for years!

Airsoft — I cannot stand seeing shoes dangling from electrical wires. Although, thankfully I don’t see them as much as I used to for some reason. Maybe that was more a prank from decades ago?
PaulsHealthBlog — Thanks, bud! I quite enjoy following our Windy. Makes me a little crazy, but I’m OK with it.
diver daisy — Yes, please take a picture and write about the rope. Comment back here if you do! Thanks for the tag.
feefifoto — Oh, good. So you don’t think I’m too weird! Well, at least not for this reason.
Elle — Don’t put it past me to play music in the background as I record. YouTube can’t get me for THAT! Bastards. I don’t understand the copyright thing in this case. We bought the song on iTunes.
Cats~Goats~Quotes — Nice to have you back. Expect Windy to be here forever.
Alan — You aren’t the first to notice Windy’s ghost-like qualities. You’re right, the lady on the bench is near the bag, but they can’t see each other. Too bad. I’d feel better if Windy had company 24/7.
Babs beetle — I have no idea what to advise about the RSS feeds. I changed the time trigger for emails to go out for my feeds, and yet I cannot see any rhyme or reason to it. They never go out at the time specified! I use Live Bookmarks in Firefox to read my blogs (see Feed Me tab above to see how to do this if you like). This way, I simply pass my cursor over someone’s blog name and all their latest post titles appear and I can tell if a new one is available. No using a 3rd party application like Google Reader to discover new updates. Oh, and yes. The bag is going to shred slowly. I’ll consider her still stuck as long as we an still see the white.
Jeff — I know. I was holding out hope that she’d get down whole or even partially. But it looks like she’ll come down in pieces.
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids — I’m peeved about what YouTube did, especially because we own the song. I don’t understand why you can’t put it with video if you own the music track. Stupids!
DrowseyMonkey — Interesting and correct observation. Although how did you know how ratty I looked after 16 years of marriage?
January 18th, 2009 at 9:05 am
I reverted back to my Flock feed, which is similar to Firefox. I never had any late problems before, so I am optimistic again :O)
You do realize that when you can’t see the bag anymore, you will have to climb the tree to make sure there isn’t a teensy weensy piece left!

Babs beetle — Luckily, my camera (crappy as it is for macro shots) is pretty good on the zoom. I won’t have to climb the tree to see if pieces are left. Good think the bag is white! p.s. We got your nag message on the Wii last night. I’m getting there!
Jeff — That’s Alan Bamboo’s fault. He named it and called it a she and yelled at me once when I called her an “it.”
amber — You won’t get an argument from me.
The Mind of a Mom — Funny! That’s a good observation. Except bags aren’t hungry, so they have no motivation for coming down or falling out!
Nicole — Come back in two months for her one year anniversary. We’re having a DJ, open bar and a cake.
Maureen — Too bad. You’re out! You guessed May 13, 2008. There are only two people in the running now, Lee and Stephanie C.
Kate Rawlins — I couldn’t find a guess for you on the original post. I’m accepting only the guesses that came in on that one. And I have a feeling your guess would be too soon anyway. Seriously, she’s not getting out.
MA Fat Woman — I always worry about a bag getting caught up underneath my car because I heard about this once on NPR’s “Car Talk,” where a guy had that happen to him. A bag got stuck in some weird place and they had to take pieces out of the engine area to remove it. Good luck!

Hannah Fanna — I’d follow Daisy anywhere! BTW, your blog always gives me an exceptionally good ROI when I buy an EC ad on your site.

Jenn Thorson — Got that right. She understands the meaning of the word ‘commitment.’
Oyvind — Awesome! Didn’t that song go well with the video? Stupid YouTube!
Sausage Recipes — I suppose it’s possible. The bag is really choking that one branch now. You know, it’ll be nearly impossible to see the bag in the summer. Last summer, it was still intact and bellowed out. It wasn’t hard to see her at all. I may need a better zoom lens come July.
Momo Fali — Oh, I couldn’t tolerate another bag in the tree. It’d send me over the edge. Of course, if I find a new one in that same tree, I’ll know someone here did it!
Just a Blogger — The closest anyone got to that was a man who walked by and asked nonchalantly if I was planning to jump. I suppose a question is better than a directive.
pinkrenegade — Believe me, we wanted her out long ago, considering what kinds of guns and projectiles could help her get out. Now, it’s gonna be impossible.

janeywan — I love how you guys are thinking of Windy when you see plastic stuck in places. I’m sure Windy would appreciate it. You know, if she had a brain and a soul. I thank you.

Amazing how such small things take on such importance in our lives … do they organize it? Touchstones? Simply amuse us?
I know I get comfort from several morning routines I do with my cat … I know Windy appreciates the daily notice in a cold, cruel, and “windy” world …..

It’s quite possible that your work isn’t exciting enough for you
Reminds me of when I was in high school and I used to stare at the clouds out of the window all day during boring classes.

I’m glad you put up the video. Now I can see what you meant in the first place. Yes, that would drive me crazy! Still pictures don’t quite do it justice. I want that sucker down! It’s just not right!
You want to use the dates we gave you last year, and use them this year?

Guru Schmooroo — It’s amazing to me how I’ll check on her every day and wonder what I’ll do when I don’t see her anymore. Many of us in our building have gotten quite attached to her. Weird, huh?
Bidet — The problem is work is too exciting, and not in a good way. Windy is the one bright spot in my day.
Ferd — It’s worse because she’s out there alone flapping in the wind. When the leaves come in, she’ll have company. There are still two people in the running. One of them guessed into 2010, so we’ll wait until that time passes before taking more dates.
