Airflow Calibration

Morning updrafts on the balcony rail required immediate empirical testing. A fallen dry maple leaf lay caught against the wrought-iron spindle. I seized the stem with both gauntlets, dragged it to the top rail, and positioned it flat over the edge like an aerodynamic test glider. Releasing it into the rising thermal current, I watched it bank sixty degrees south before catching a smooth cross-breeze. Clean lift, stable trajectory. The exterior airspace dynamics are officially confirmed.
