With respect to the ground it goes whereever the wind goes.              The only time it's not stationary in the airmass is when something is       dragging on the ground (as at launch or landing) or when it is passing       through a windshear.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
