The windmills could act as a tonic reminder of all that Blicero has  
left in his worship of explosive, fire-fuel based technology which  
serves as his promethean god,and his deification of sexual  
dominance.  The windmills being rooted in natural forms and related  
to earth water and air. I like the Quixote thought equally and they  
work nicely together, at least in my mind.He is at war with nature,  
tilting at windmills, seeking a Valhalla of dominance and  
transcendence. Dick Cheney would have loved this guy.
