When she asked me if I enjoyed doing that as a child, she could tell by the look on my face that I had never heard of such a thing!

As for the windmills - while driving down Interstate 35 I've seen semi trucks hauling those windmill blades. I had no idea how HUGE they were until I saw that one blade covers the 53' semi flat-bed trailer all the way from the front to the back.

That's short!

Try 413 foot blade length for the Enercon E-126... as in 126 meters!
