I sneak out the passenger door and lean up against the car ... and the kite stays put. But no sooner am I set up for a shot than another car comes barreling by, full...

    Saturday Silly Story - 3

    Finally the dust started to settle. And the kite was still there - screaming out something nasty, it seems, towards the rear of that car as it disappeared down the road. I guess the kite agreed with me that fast-going traffic on those roads was a nuisance, maybe even scaring the snails ;) Oh...
