Damn, looks like 49 was the fastest, that's some serious wind! It's like that in Cheyenne, Wyoming. All the time. About drove me nuts the year I lived there.

I assume land sailing is letting the kite pull you. You could get the riffraff out of the state cheap though, just tie them to kites. Nebraska is a rich state they can absorb them.

No, that's way too close to Vermont. We got enough scum coming in from neighboring states for our awesome welfare system that will eventually tax all the working people out. They need to stay on the west side of the Mississippi.
