Kevin and docWayne, definitely some different philosophies on the windows - you may remember we had a similar discussion way back when the building was being built. 
The windows are small, 12" x 24" and up pretty high. The layout height is 58", and then somewhere around 14" up to the windows, putting the bottom of them right at my eye level. From the outside, the bottom of the windows are about 86 inches above the ground, so a person would have to be quite tall to see in. Also, with them being right under the roof overhang, the sunlight coming in is rather subdued.
I really do like the ability to open the windows and let the breeze in. I also generally leave the door open and raise the screen on the outer storm door so I can get some air circulation that way too. As Kevin said, the cool air is rather refreshing.
I just like the connection to the outdoors.
