Wind Mill

Just back from a short pleasure trip to Netherlands. One among the many unique things we saw was the number of windmills. I felt quite at home amongst those windmills since I am one of them in a vague sense. This blog is testimony to the fact that I can churn out a lot of 'hot air', i.e., I am a "wind" mill. Anyways, in particular, we went to this village, Zaanse Schans, which is quite famous for its windmills. We went into one of them, which is still in use to produce oil. The "miller" was an unpleasant fella. He had such an air around him that had he stuck a tiny fan around him, he could have produced some useful energy as well. There were couple of other very tiny windmills around his house, one of them probably connected to his commode or re-charge one of his AA batteries for his digital camera. Don't abuse an idea, people! Please!

The last thing I am going to say before I shut up for today is the general behavior of Japanese tourists. We are at a "clog" factory when the guy annouced that the next demostration was to start in a few seconds. Instantly, you see a mini marathon of window shopping Japanese tourists run to the demo area. Same story at the airport. I tell you, the opposite of stand-at-ease is Japanese!
