It is with us, whether we like it or appreciate it, wind is part of the physics of Planet Earth, essential to and nourishing life. Whether the use was for grinding grain, pumping water, generating electricity, or pure aesthetics, human kind has embraced wind as a tool for millenia. We had an Aeromotor windmill for pumping water from our well in western New Mexico in 1977, and learned to love the reassuring "cathunk, cathunk" of the sucker rod. It meant we had cold, wonderful water to drink.

Daryl, I love the composition of the Windmill detail, Santorini! We need an electric generating windmill ot our place in the Canyon, since we have only about ten days per year without some sort of wind blowing.
