Close Encounters of the WTF Kind.

As I headed back to the present digs after work this afternoon to do a bit more packing (yes, I know) I was this close to the 5-points intersection when state troopers stopped all traffic - in all directions - and moved a crane and cherry picker into the roadway to raise the power lines manually so this humongous high and long cylinder, followed by 2 others, could make the turn taking them toward the Atlantic. In the image you can see the cherry picker being used to lift the wires so the cylinders and get through. (Click on the image to embiggen.)

No idea what they will be used for, or what may be built with them. As one can see, they are quite large and though it can't be seen in this photo, very long as well.

Things that make you go, hmmmmmmmm!

And so it goes.

    Traveling on Rt. 1 is always an adventure isn't it? One never knows what to expect. I've had many a WTF? moments myself on good old Coastal Highway. You're gonna miss Rt. 1 craziness when you move in town. Don't worry, I'll keep you up to date. After all, that's what friends are for. :)

    Warning! Be on the lookout for the trinity of evil: BP, Transocean, and Halliburton.
