You go out to fly. There's great wind, so you get out your gear, run the lines, assemble and attach your kite...
You get back and pick up the handles...
...and the wind dies.
Does this ever happen to you? It happens almost every day to me. It is the Anch-Morpork wind on average. I've often considered simply camping out and catching that 6am wind that always happens. In the Summer here that's not so bad, because we have the 24-hour sunlight ... but the Winter isn't quite the same.
I still have to convince my better 3/4 that there IS a reason I do this every day. She knows that but often forgets.

I've always said if it's windy out and bugging you just pull out a kite. Doesn't matter what kind or size any kite will do and poof no wind!
