It ain't the end of the world out there but if'n ya climb a tall windmill ya can see it.
Pfffttt, Man...
...don't you know that out there with no trees, windmills don't need to be tall.
I know, because my father-in-law had two fears. Heights and spiders. So, if a tower had to be climbed, it wasn't the F-I-L. We even had a windmill up near the Cimarron River where the water table was pretty high. We needed to pull the pump to do some maintenance on it, and since it was something like a hand dug well, I was the one that got to go down into the casing and lift out the pump.
Fun times.
