Day 4: NW at 10 knots

Not only is this kite free advertising for Macy's; it is (inadvertently) flown in support of the revolution.

Day 3:

  • Winds: W at 14.7 knots.

The "Sode" kite comes from Japan and is sometimes known as the kimono kite. This one flew like a drunken jackal in one of my traps until I tied some extra weight to the end of the tail.

Day 2:

The ubiquitous diamond kite. Unmistakable even from a distance. A few days ago I was flying this kite off of a hill in a park and I heard behind me, "Mommy, Mommy, I want to fly the kite. Whaaaaa!" His mom told him not to come near me and he was totally bummed. Then the rest of the birthday party saw me and they all started crying too.

My social standing is going up already. I'm already the most popular kid at the birthday party. Whee!

Day 1:

It brings me great pleasure to announce the return of La Fin du Monde. However, I won't be cooking any more. Naturally, I've moved on to kites.

Here is the first kite. It is your basic "Sled Kite" made from plastic bags and bamboo skewers. Bon Appetit!
