Index of Subjects --part1_c565d.77f60ab8.3f153e2e_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm reminded of some of the reasons offered for referring to ships as "she" which may be appropriate in this case. They is usually a gang of men around her. The initial cost is far exceeded by the upkeep. The support of the rigging far exceeds that of the equipment and uses lots of paint. And she changes her mind every time the wind changes. ( with apologies to the ladies) Capt Peter Stow Hubbards In a message dated 2013-07-14 3:59:01 P.M. Atlantic Daylight Time, jrhbirder@hotmail.com writes: I was curious as to why the wind turbines at West Pubnico all had female names on the doors. A friend of mine threw these thoughts out to me in response to my comment about this on facebook. I wonder why all female names...the feminine has always been a symbol of renewal through creating life in multi cultures..I wonder if the names used that as a reference to parallel the renewal of the earth, the "birth" as it were of a new way of seeking energy through green energy via the wind...just my thoughts on it. I'd be interested in any other thoughts on this topic or is the above the actual reason for the female names, which would make perfect sense. James R.
