Visible off Route 25 before the Bourne Bridge on the way to the Island, a small onshore wind farm around a cranberry bog in Plymouth that has operated for almost a decade suffered a blade failure Friday afternoon.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
