Windmilling

OK, so I have some great friends from New Jersey. I do. But these ignorant tools who are suing their neighbor for erecting a quiet, attractive, clean-energy-generating windmill in his backyard deserve nothing but WINDMILL PUNCHES TO THEIR IGNORANT FACES.

Maybe because, as Mr. Mercurio’s neighbors Patricia Caplicki and John Miller say in the lawsuit, in a 14-mile-per-hour wind, the three fiberglass blades produce noise greater than 50 decibels, the rough equivalent of light traffic or a noisy refrigerator.

The suit also says that the spinning blades throw “strobe-like shadows” on their property from noon to sunset. (NYT)

OH HORRORS. Come on, people. I hope I never live in a neighborhood where people are so small.
