    nice pic!
    and of course it brings back memories, though I've never been there, because I did a column one time on their famous Windmill Cats (and somewhere around here I've got a nice certificate of appreciation from the Windmill Cats folks). Seems the place got its name because back in the day there was this big flood in which a basket carrying an infant and a cat was adrift for days, with the cat maintaining the balance of the little craft so it stayed afloat. And finally it came to rest on the dike.
