Next time you could have blown more gently, with a nice, pleasant breeze, and I would have taken my coat off to enjoy the soft caress of your wind. The sun gently persuaded me to take off my coat because I was feeling too warm. It was my choice to take off my coat. I believe persuasion is more effective than force. Using more force to try to blow off my coat just made me hold it Sincerely, The traveler
