Dead calm *is* extremely rare out here, but it does happen sometimes. I'm not used to it anymore .. used to hearing the wind roaring through at a minimum of 10-20 knots. Been thinking about wind power a lot lately. :) It is vital to recognize situations you control through your own resources and abilities, and situations you control only because circumstances allow you to control them .. because the actions you take may make those favorable circumstances unfavorable in the blink of an eye. -- Me _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
