Is It Supposed To Look Like A Tree?


User Image

I passed by a very interesting looking cellphone tower today.
It's supposed to look like a tree, I guess.
Personally, it would have looked nicer if they had left it looking like a
cell phone tower. But... whatever, I guess.

It looks nothing like a tree.
It's too... perfect. Trees aren't that symetrical and perfect!
And it's too shiny. Trees aren't shiny either.
Nor are any of them that fricking tall.
Except for a redwood maybe.
But there aren't any redwoods in the area I live in.

And what if a bird tries to land on it?

=o

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, in other news. I just got back from Tim's.
Went to Micke Grove Park for his mom's company picnic thing.
That was fun. I haven't been there in a while.
His sister Jolin and his friend Mat came along too.

Went to the little zoo there.
They've gotten rid of a few of their good animals.
Like the mountain lion. He was my favorite.
He reminded me of my Kilala. With his thing for chasing people as they
walked past his cage.

We went from there to the Japanese Garden, and then to a little playground.
Mat wanted to go there, so we thought 'what the heck?'.
Watched Mat make himself dizzy running around on the playground.
It was amusing.
After that we just hung around the picnic site, and threw ice cubes at each other.

And then we went to Tim's house, and hung around there for a few hours.
Listening to Weird Al [ and listening to Jolin sing along to Weird Al ] ,
and watched Mat play Halo on the Xbox.
It was fun. And it was good to see Tim and Mat again. Especially Tim.
I haven't seen either of them since they graduated.

It was a rather nice ending to this summer vacation.

    I have seen those types of cell phone towers before when I was visiting my Uncle in Seattle around two years ago. I believe that 90% of the cell phone towers in Washington State are tree towers. According to my Uncle, he said it was to make the enviromentalists happy so that the birds would have somewhere to build their nests. But I wasn't so sure about that... I mean, wasn't the issue that birds were dying because they were making their nests on the towers to begin with? So I guess it's just a faster way to kill the birds now that the towers look like trees, that is unless that is super duper protective plastic around those "branches"? o___O?

    Yeah, I believe that was the problem.
    Stupid people.
    Wouldn't making them look like fricking trees
    just make birds want to nest in them even more?

    Though if I were a bird, I'd be scared shitless
    of any tree that looked like that.
