New Windmill Turns Heads

The streets of ^C1 were clogged with wooden shoes yesterday as people flocked to the unveiling of a new high-tech windmill prototype, which may, one day, replace the defunct Texon power plant. Director of Obsolete Oscillation Operations, Rudy Mentry, threw the switch that powered up the windmill. Within minutes, gale-force winds knocked people off their feet. Former madame and muleskinner, Mrs. Margeritte VanZeeland screamed when she noticed one of her antique, rosemalled clogs fly up and land in the windmill's main rotor, stopping the twirling blades for over an hour. "I'll have to document this event by creating a series of tiny dioramas glued inside blown-out humingbird eggs," she mumbled to herself as she stuffed her lucky sock up her nose.
