Nope, can't. While out walking the dog last week I watched a young groundsman blowing freshly cut grass around the site, all in a 30tk squall that simply lifted, swirled and dropped it again behind him. I was out for about 30min with the mutt, in that time he'd he'd moved about 3m and achieved precisely nothing.
