Folks:
The Chinook Wind is howling round the corners of my 6th-floor aerie.
Sometime between Dec 24th and Dec 26th, 2006, it took out a Wind Turbine that was about 10 miles NNW of Lethbridge, Alberta. Yup, flattened 'er!
So much for the reliability of WindPower, eh?

I grew up, West of here, where the Chinook _really_ blows.
About Me
- AlbertaBigfoot
- Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
- Retired Seismic Surveyor. Therefore, I know most of the back roads in Alberta, Southern Saskatchewan, and NE British Columbia. I have Surveyed SW of Umiat, Alaska, and seen the Spring Breakup of the Colville River. Both Niger (1972), and Tanszania (1986), have felt the points of my Surveyor's Tripod. I grew up in Alberta, and even went to a one-room School thru Grade 5, which is why I spell as well as I do. Grin. I am firmly convinced that a Constitutional Monarchy, with Parliament in firm control of the Exchequer, is the best form of Government. My American Cousins, with their Republic, did manage to come up with a winner, with the addition of a Senate seperately established from the Houise of Representatives!
