[at-l] Windmills on tall buildings

[Kent Gardam]

Amy,
   
  It all depends on your perspective.  My Dad was an electrical power engineer and worked for the local utility company.  Whenever we used to go on vacation trips, somewhat like Andrew he would point out all the substations and high voltage power lines to Mom, my sister and I.  He loved that stuff but it used to drive my Mom nuts!

FWIW they never bothered me either. I think I'd like them more than 
some of the other scenic interruptions we get now, like the 
electrical power lines marching across the mountains.

I think they should be painted like huge flowers, personally. :)
