When launching rockets recreationally you launch into the wind so that it floats back to you as it descends under the parachute. Hence, with a wind out of the west I could "aim" towards IC for better theatrical effect at the launch.

Given that my max altitude for this rocket is on the order of a few thousand feet, it would take a hurricane out of the east to get any sort of over-the-ground distance.

I figured that was the case, when I threw the discus in HS my best throws were into a slight wind.

Mine's Italian for Cyclone, just like me. I thought it'd be a fun and clever way to show everyone who I am. Yay! :smile:

OK...specifically I'm Sicilian, so watch what you say or I'll bust a baseball bat over your head. :mad:

"Philia" is greek for (brotherly) love.

Also going with the "I bleed Cardinal (and Gold)" type-of-deal. You know, hemophilia/clonophilia.

Lame, I know.

It is my name (born Esyedepeea Aesfyza). Nudist Christian Church anyone?

The Book of Zevs: brought down from the mountains on the horns of three long-horn steers...Yep, I've heard of it.

CF wouldn't let me use "Aqua Velva" so I had to improvise. Irresponsible was a song on a cd I was playing at the time and it seemed like a fun screen name to hide behind.

I'm an entomologist, so my screen is the same as my Cyclone license plates = BUGS4CY.
Had to find an avatar with some kind of pink in it since I'm a giiiirl.
