Want to Read the story?

Or just watch it in lego format?



Random Scotto factoid - I have always possessed an odd fondness for windmills. When I see them in movies, or as cookies, it just makes me happy... especially the old-style 4-sailed sorts, though the weird farm-propeller ones are also keen. Long before I ever read Don Quixote de la Mancha.

I like water-driven mills too, for that matter.

Added Newt after the fact.. it *is* his cam, after all.




Had a great time gabbing with bhk last night... lots of infectious laughter and silliness, mostly about pure randomness and pente-trash talk.

Ooh, the windmill cookies! I hadn't thought of those in years. I don't remember what company made those we used to buy at the supermarket, but they were the traditional ginger and cardamom flavored Dutch cookies, fairly hard, oblong, with the windmill design stamped into them in surprising detail. I always used to examine them carefully before eating them.

those are the exact same ones I used to really dig. I can't remember the brand name either, but the cookies were quite comforting, even if they were maybe only 2 steps up from a graham cracker.

I think I'll snoop around the cookie aisle next time I'm in the store and see if I can find some. Those cookies were always well suited for this season, and make a nice accompaniment to a cup of hot tea on a blustery day.

You know the origin of graham crackers right? It has nothing to do with turnips. :D

something about purity, and keeping kids calm, more flakey concepts like the kellogg's kook, I think. Some vegetarian priest using 'em for t-totalling, If I remember properly.

I'm hanging your new light sweaters and coats in the closet---but nothing beats playing with you--nothing is more important to me.

Windmills

There are big wind farms in West Texas. Last time I flew from Austin to LA you could see them from the plane, lining the ridgelines.

I don't know where most of them are made, but I think they arrive in Texas in Houston. From there they are trucked out west on huge trucks. The trucks carrying the blades are the best - unbelievably massive - much larger than a standard 18 wheeler, more like the trucks that move houses. And the blades are beautiful, smooth and fluid and surreal.

They take up more than one lane, so mostly they move at night, with lead cars and tailing cars. But since I go to work early, I often see them. 3 or 4 times a week I'll catch a truck with part of windmill cruising down the road.

that sounds really keen! wind farm windmills look downright dangerous next to homey "old school" ones.

I think that the horseman is, for the most part a ghost, but in the sleepy hollow movie, he's more of a terrible reanimated corpse.
