All my eHow articles from today were requested by the editors (can you believe someone asked to have an article written on how to cook cream of wheat! Most likely the makers!) I wrote the two relationship ones yesterday - they were not requested but are doing well.

The Wind in the Oaks
Martha's Vineyard is populated by more oak trees (scrub oak near the shores) than any other tree. Actually, at this time of year, it populates the island far more than people!! Anyway, although our temps were in the 40s today instead of the 30s like yesterday, the wind was gusting to 50mph. Sand + wind = unpleasant walking! But, really, I still have hope that it will be nice one day. So for now, I continue to write articles...

Morning Epiphany
The origin of the word knot to measure wind speed is thought to have come from the original technique of measuring the speed of a ship in "nautical" miles and then expanded to include the speed of any vessel relative to the substance in which it travels (such as a plane in the case of air speed or wind).
This morning while washing my hair in the shower it occurred to me that wind speed is definitely measured in knots because of the correlation between wind speed and the number of knots it puts in your hair!
