If sails were that great we would still be using them for freight, we didn’t switch to petroleum for the fun of it.

From the tone of the first message, I'm guessing that's not the first off-by-one error in their relationship.

 

I've been racking my brain lately thinking of what are good methods to increase internal airflow in a house with few windows, all facing the wrong direction to catch wind. What are your ideas?

Edit: Breaking a wall to make more windows isn't an option.
