Cory's High (and Low) Contrast

According to the interwebs, wind is caused by contrasts in temperature. The higher the contrast, the stronger the wind blows, and the more easy it is to get a kite flying. This weekend was Los Alamos's yearly kite festival, and we took Maddy down to see if we could get her flying. Unfortunately, the temperature contrast was too low and she had to stay firmly planted on the ground.

The low contrast was worse for the guy with the long string of kites seen above - when the wind died down, he had to pick them all up one by one.
