No that is PigBoy. Regan's alter ego, in the best of all possible worlds we would hang out with PigBoy and Regan would be relegated to the status of a Live Journal icon.
"rip it out?" not really. You just need to answer the question mister snarky!
I think it's a good idea, I'm just trying to help you visualize it well enought that you can explain it to everyone else.
So, these would be used consistantly in both scenes, much like the inexplicable wall fan in Angel Heart. Ideas:
1. Glitter. Everyone loves glitter! Cheesy as a visual, but hey, it starts the list off.
2. Maybe have people look startled, perhaps confused as if they just forgot something as the wind blows around them. The timing of the shots can also give the illusion that the wind is a "traveling stream" rather than "the wind picks up." This perhaps will give it more of a "personalitiy."
3. The ed wood method: random scene of windy day. I dislike this idea, but it could be made to work. Again, using a series of shots to perhaps show the wind moving, we could see... maybe a mountian in the distance, with a thick haze of smoke pouring out of it. Later, as an "inserted" scene, you could show trees being twisted and torn by the passage

You make a good a point, but the problem is that good writing should evoke an image in the reader's mind without a second read. And this obviously fails at that.
Mark Medolf once said that cutting stuff like that is like "killing your babies." Its tough but this is one tit-sucker that has to die.

good point, the intro really needs to be ripped out like a bloody filling.
