Only one person positively identified the last edition’s Mystery Photo. It was from Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill, who wrote: “Our best friends have a home in Sicily so we’ve watched many, many slide shows and I was surprised at seeing old windmills there. So when I saw this photo, my first thought – of course – was Holland, but I looked up “old windmills in Sicily” just for kicks and found it. It’s an old windmill in Marsala in the Mozia salt flats, if I’m not mistaken.”
She added: “Some of the salt pans are still operative, and the windmills, though no longer used for their original purpose of pumping water, sometimes retain their sails. On the shore closest to Mozia, right by a ferry stop, one of the windmills has been made into a shop and visitor centre, the Museo del Sale.” The photo was sent in by Ross Lenhart of Pawley’s Island, S.C.

This photograph was circulated recently on the Internet. We always knew Texans thought big, but we never realize that those in the Longhorn State would take it this far. What we have learned is that Texans count far different than the rest of us.
