Over the river and through the woods to Washington we need to go.

An update to a post at the end of September about the new technology going in on an expressway
that is more "spy" than traffic management.
Since our post, the Associated Press reported in an article,"Growing backlash to government surveillance" by Martha Mendoza, a fait accompli viewed by the Federation of American Scientists secrecy expert Steven Aftergood, " We are setting ourselves up for a total surveillance system that may be beyond the possibility of reversal once it is in place." He continued to say, " we may be on a road where we don't want to go."

In Texas, When It's Miller TIme, You Stop!

Where else can you find a cooler, a tent and orange cones in the middle of 16-lanes but in Texas.

Blueprints and a blueprint reader for this project

It's Miller Time!

Perception is everything so when I came across a second tent in the HOV lanes there was something strikingly different with the white tent.

A couple of days ago while running errands, I came across a construction crew working on LBJ 635 in the High 5 area.A couple of images were posted (Color on the High 5,posted July 9).

Yesterday,the crew was still working and it was a Saturday.It was also 100-degrees. The frame work is so complicated that it takes a set of blueprints and a blueprint reader to walk the crew through the installation of this fiber technology. Talk about being frustrated with toy instructions, this would drive you mad.

 The fun part was down the road about 50 yards and a comic like Jay Leno or Dave Letterman would have a field day with potential one-liners. The white tent must be different than the blue tent that was still up from a couple of days ago. Note the orange cooler sitting in the center with four orange cones surrounding it! That cooler has got to have a six-pack of Millers!

Just like their slogan,"We cover the earth", This moving billboard on the 5th level of the Dallas High 5 covers the ad world from the ground up.

A pop-up tent in the middle of 16-lanes is perfect for workers breaks.

Ready for work, parking was not a problem from these gentlemen. Use the closed HOV lanes on the LBJ

Once in a great while, being on foot does have its advantages. While my car was in a 2-hour free parking lot after an errand, it was time to get out my camera and walk an area that is difficult to have access. That too, was the present of a genie and I took advantage of the opportunity. Much to my own surprise, there were some unusual and/or colorful images waiting to become images.
