Why is it poignant? Do you normally think of wind in MPH instead of knots?
How
lubberly!

Lubberly? Oh please. I live on the coast. We sweat hurricane warnings every
year. We eat in seaside restraunts that serve the fish the local fishing
companies catch. We sail almost every weekend. Lubberly?

The weather channel and their internet site use MPH, so do I. Lubberly--sheesh.
