National Kite Flying Day 2024

    kite
When I was young I was a fan of kites.

My skills were nil but I could occasionally make one soar far above me.

One time in Key West I let go of the string which was wound around a small hammer which struck me in the face.

My dismay surrounded the kite flying off into parts unknown.

When I ran in the house to tell my mother she was more concerned with the blood pouring down my forehead.

So — I've had good kite experiences and bad kite experiences.

Those experiences you have relate to the specifics of your environment and just what type of field you have available to gain loft ...

National Kite Flying Day gives you the opportunity to send a kite soaring above the land as long as you have a fairly steady wind.

Anyway, try not to get struck by any attachments to that string you're holding.

Happy National Kite Flying Day.
