Having been a Motel Manager in both California and Washington State when we were in the USA, it can get monotonous answering some of the sillier questions.<br />The windmill is definitely iconic, whenever they appear in films, they often look dilapidated and creek loudly!<br />Nice pics.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299642687237208558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941762653108707029.post-52840429972096230582011-10-03T22:16:35.203+10:302011-10-03T22:16:35.203+10:30@Friko - Yes ... and no to your final question!! ...@Friko - Yes ... and no to your final question!!
