I saw you (and your brother truckers)! For months I wondered at the
stream of huge turbine blades being hauled westbound in the mornings as
I made my daily commute eastbound on I-10 into downtown. They were so
incredibly huge, it actually took me a few days to realize what they
were, but I finally decided that the only thing that could be that shape
would be humongous wind turbine blades.
