hah!

last summer just before alberto came through I was planning a trip to OBX. Had hotel lined up.. everything..

i called one of the kite shops to talk about the wind meters on ikitesurf and get a feeling for how accurate they are. I just asked him "Are the wind meters that are on ikite pretty close to actual wind speeds" and the guy was confused on why I would be asking such a dumb question..

I had to give him the 20 second explanation that I live in a town where the wind meters suck donkey ass.

After that, he understood why I would ask and told me that they were pretty much dead on.

ahhh.. to live in such a place.

magical it would be.
