      TURN, TURN, TURN!

  Welcome to May 8th everybody.

"National Windmill Day." It is, in

fact, a holiday in the Netherlands

(you can read that Holland if you

wish.) Windmills have been used

there for hundreds of years to reclaim

land otherwise flooded by the sea.

There are about 1200 windmills in

the Netherlands but only about 300

are operational. Those have all been

designated national landmarks. But

on National Windmill Day some 900

are open to the public to allow them

to see how they operate. While it is

not a national holiday here in the 

U.S. perhaps it ought to be. If we

haven't yet exceeded the number of

windmills in the Netherlands we

surely will! They're growing like

weeds on mountaintops all across

this area and the country....as

electric power generators! We need

power and "the answer my friend,

is blowing in the wind! Hope you're

well and that all your NEWS is good!
