We drove past a place where someone has installed a whole bunch of really big fans. Getting out of the truck, we were almost blown over, the wind from them was so strong. The last time I was at this place, there was a whole bunch of cows munching on grass that was cleared of snow, blown away by the enormous fans on the nearby hills. To me it seemed a terrible waste of resources. Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to simply put some heating coils in the ground to melt the snow rather than use huge fans to blow it away? Unless electricity is nearly free, wouldn't it be even cheaper to simply move the cows to lower ground where it doesn't snow? The picture shows just a few dozen of the hundreds, maybe thousands of fans on these hills. Makes you wonder.

You must have been in OZ since you seem to be over the rainbow. Ask Dorothy if the fans are for blowing away bad witches.
In Oz you could visit Windy Hill where they have heaps of those big 'ol fans. They cost $1m each and they totally dwarf the cows munching the grass around them....
Hey, Susan! This is the time of year that The Wizard Of Oz is always broadcast on TV. I forgot that OZ means your part of the world as well. I promise to send you a message tomorrow. Honest Injun.
I understand. I was just trying to add to the crazy ambiance that typifies the Slowly Rotting Mind experience - he he!
I'll look forward to hearing from you - true blue! XX
