Hi Mike and all,

All though it is windy in Chicago from the lake, the term comes from politics as there
are a lot of windy candidates.

Besides winds perhaps the break up might have had some something to do with fragments
found. There is a retardation point that scientists speak up where an item can almost
come to a stop while falling from the pressure in front. Perhaps we had a very low
point of retardation.
