Windy Today

The wind picked up yesterday evening - and it's still blowing like crazy today.  Boulder has seen gusts between 87 and 88 mph, while a bit further up the canyon, in Nederland, there was a wind gust of 103 mph.  Trees and branches are falling onto power lines due to the wind, and there are almost 5,000 customers - homes and businesses - scattered throughout the county and city that are without power.  One of the areas described begins about a block north of our apartment, and is in the area where Beatrice works.  She really doesn't want to go to work today, and I don't blame her one bit.
  This is the first time we've had high winds in Boulder since we moved into the apartment - and we're finding out how noisy it can be. I've lived on the ground floor since I got my own place eleven years ago , and now I'm learning how the wind whines through the window screens on the second floor (not to mention the screen door on the balcony).  There is also an exhaust door that resides between the walls of mine and Bea's bedroom - and the wind makes the exhaust door thump quite loudly.  When the exhaust door thumps, it reverberates in the bathrooms and over the stove, where the exhaust fan connects.  It's a whole interconnected series of thumps, bumps, and booms.
  I was also perplexed when I found yet another note from our landlord, Thistle Communities, stating that we had been randomly chosen to be one of two apartments to be inspected by their city, county, state, and federal housing partners.  I moved into this apartment on 2 July, and Beatrice moved in on 30 July. We have been inspected once in July, once in August, once in September, and twice in October.  Now we will be "randomly" inspected tomorrow, in November.  I called the office to ask how frequently these inspections normally occur, and how it has happened that we have been "randomly" chosen each and every month out of 88 apartments in the complex.  I was informed that the partners take turns inspecting, usually every 6 to 8 weeks, each looking at the specific things they are interested in.  I asked how the apartments were randomly chosen, and was informed that each inspector was given the name of each complex, and the numbers of the apartments in each complex.  Then the inspectors choose two apartment numbers - supposedly at random - to inspect at each place.  I asked how it happens that we have been inspected every month, and twice last month, if the numbers are "randomly" chosen.  She laughed and said that the inspectors must like the number of our apartment....   If this is done so randomly, why have we been inspected each month?    Why not throw all the apartment numbers in a bag and randomly draw two - why allow the inspectors to keep choosing our number each month?   I had to accept the CFO's explanation, but I just don't feel that we're being chosen "randomly."  (Starting to feel a bit paranoid, actually.)
