Be amazed! (Rob-have you seen this guy?)

The guy flying
the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada . He comes to the Washington
State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he
normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies we hold our
hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one
is attached to his waist. Enjoy!

You must watch to
the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite!  

And of course,
make sure the volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally
reflects the soaring of the kites.  Beautiful!

	Many times. He is wondeful and VERY entertaining. They are right about his skin and his skill.

	That takes your mind from WOW, to how does he do that, to how in the world does he keep them from getting tangled and finally how is he going to bring them down??? A very talented person!
	I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

	I anyone hasn't done so, I would highly recommend a trip to the Kite Festival in Long Beach. And, you can often see him in person. That alone is worth the trip.
