Fly Boy
This afternoon Phil asked if he could go out and fly his kite. As it was not raining, not cold out, and there haven't been any mountain lion sightings lately, Phil got his wish.
Unfortunately there wasn't much in the way of wind, so the kite depended on what Phil could generate by running. As these pictures (1, 2) show (if you can see the cyan-winged airplane Phil's towing), he did pretty good as long as he kept running. Then came the inevitable crashes.
Will he believe us next time we tell him he needs a steady wind to keep his kite aloft? Doubtful. Of course, he's been quiet since he came back inside, so maybe no wind isn't such a bad deal after all.
