Fresh Breeze
May 7 is the birthday of Sir Francis Beaufort. For those who
haven't heard of him, Sir Francis was the British Admiral
who devised Beaufort’s Scale of Wind Speeds in 1806, later
adopted by the International Meteorological committee for
use in weather telegraphy. Still later the U.S. Weather Service
also adopted the scale with modifications.
Beaufort’s scale can indicate the wind strength when no in
struments are available using descriptive criteria and a scale of
0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane). For instance, a hurricane is “that
which no canvas could withstand.” Recent changes include the
addition of miles per hour, so we now know a fresh breeze (5)
is 19-24 mph but a light breeze (2) is only 4-7 mph. Good to
know when you're flying a kite on a balmy spring day!
A little wind kindles, too muck puts out ike fire.

If fleas are a problem in your
house, please consider using
natural alternatives to
“mainstream” products. Re
member, you could be slowly
poisoning your pet while you
kill off the fleas. Pyrethrin is an
active ingredient that is made
from chrysanthemums. It’s
safe to you, your pet, and the
