I think we were driving through Iowa. I was working at the table in the back of the RV and I hear Richard say "Holy Crap! That was the biggest turbine blade I've ever seen!" I immediately look out the window to see ... nothing! I thought he was looking at a windmill. But no, he saw a single 100' turbine blade being driven down the highway strapped to a flatbed!

Of course, I didn't know this, so I go back to work. A few minutes later, Richard says "Holy Crap! Here comes another one!" This time, I look out the window and I see it.

Thinking on his feet, Richard says "Grab the camera! They come in threes!" I grab the camera and hand it up to Richard.

Sure enough, here comes another one. Snap! And then, another, and another...

Turns out Iowa is swimming in windmills.
