    Let's go fly a kite
    Up to the highest height
    Let's go fly a kite
    And send it soaring

    Up through the atmosphere
    Up where the air is clear
    Oh let's go
    Fly a kite!

    I flew my double line stunt kites two weekends ago. [^] When the wind is really pumping, it will actually lift you off the ground. [:0]

    I've always said that wind is only good for two things, "sailing and flying a kite." [:D]
    Makes a good alternative power source too.

    .Might be interesting around here, today. The wind is steady at 29 with gusts to 40+ mph. 85 deg. and sunny. The nearest upwind house is over a mile away, and there are garbage cans rolling through my field.

    ...If I were criminally minded, the personal info that people toss in the trash would be a gold mine. On the other hand, the cans usually end up in the creekbed a half mile north of me. I call the neighbors that I know, and if they don't claim them, well, finders keepers. I think we all swap garbage cans, depending on the wind direction. It's kind of a running joke here in the flatlands.

    Can anyone tell me how to make a DVD of the video? I would love to show that to someone. All I could do was shake my head. That's one talented old man.
