In Washington, it rains every day (or so people say). I went for a jog today in great weather. Now (3 hours later), it was raining. Even though it is great the rest of the day - it has still rained.
As I look out the window, watching the wind blow at and angle, I want to draw lines measuring the angle of the fall outside. As interesting as that would be, I could also do some math to figure out how hard the wind is blowing. I can look up the terminal velocity of a drop, measure the distance of the it moves hoizontally, project the resulting vector onto the correct plane, and get the result I am looking for.
Now that I actually think about it. It would be far simplier to measure the velocity outside than do all those calculations inside. oh well, life isn't suppose to be easy.
