Driving through Ontario in the middle of the night, I didn’t get to sightsee much, but on the way back, man, are there a bunch of damned wind farms. Seems eevry farmer has a couple on his property- there must be soem huge tax breaks or something.

One way or another, I am happy to see something alternative being developed, but I’m all too painfully aware of the environmental impact this causes. Dumbasses. Tip speed on those rotors can be a couple hundred miles an hour, and they shred any bird unwary enough to wander into range.

For scale, each of those blades is about 100 feet long- in other words, an over length flatbed semi, for each blade.

hey, I like alternatives, but as DenBeste shows, this is a meaningless thing that will do more harm, overall, than good, and it’s expensive to build.

You owe it to yourself to stop in at Pine River Cheese.

We stopped on our way back sunday (they’re open sundays in the summer) and got some curds (they squeak when you chomp ’em if they’re really fresh) and some cheddar and some other goodstuff. The only problem is the damned decisions you have to make. But damn, the cheese!

They have a great deal of their own cheese, made there. I mean, made in the next room from where they sell it. And those cows along the highway, as you’re driving? came form their milk. It’s a nice local co-op and I’m pleased to say we’ve been shopping there a while.

I love the havarti and gruyere and stilton the best, but all the cheese they have is great. It’s not got the variety or size of Mars Cheese castle, but the cheese is good, and the people are incredibly pleasant.

Or has heather Tesch gotten a little more- erm- badonkadonk these days? Not that I’m complaining, I mean- I like a little padding- it just seems like she’s plumping like a pair of ballpark franks. Or maybe just dressing to show it off more.
