I remember those New Mexico spring winds as a kid. It's sunny, warm and windy -- the perfect time to fly a kite, right? No matter how many times our mom told us it was TOO windy, we'd give it a try anyway. You simply cannot put enough tail on a kite to make it fly steady in a wind like that. Even if we could hold on to it, the kite would rip a hundred feet of string off the stick, shoot straight up in the sky, stall out, pull a quick U-turn and then crash back to the ground. And how about those dust devils? Thanks, John, for making me smile with your beautiful and witty stories about the land that I love. Wind! I remember those New Mexico spring winds as a kid.
