I've heard that expression before but didn't know the story behind it. I don't understand why the neighbors stopped her father with his shotgun.... would have served the perp right. Scotty wrote: Interesting story. But what does it have to do with wind speed? It's implying that there is little or no wind in your pics. DSK |

Who knows, we all have our days ![]() I wonder if they thought you meant to be like Bubbles, bragging about how much wind was in your photo rather than simply trying to see how accurately anybody could guage the wind strength from it. Photos almost always understate the wind & waves. I tried to take that into account in looking at yours. Also, looking upwind gives a different impression than looking downwind, which is one reason why your pics were good (giving an all around view). DSK |
