On my trek to ensure all of the Spridget faithful will have a great 
time in Elkhart Lake last Saturday, I drove by many windmills. I find 
it very pleasing to the eye.... much better than the coal plant that 
I live 2 miles from.
     I stopped and walked as close as legally permissible to 
listen... and I heard, that "Dynamo Hum".   Much more pleasant than 
the coal fired power plant near me... which also hums, but has trains 
clanking well into the night, and steam rising all winter such that 
we have different weather than folks 4 miles away.
      Probably wouldn't drop ash on my house, either.
