Tower Medic in Fort Worth

More in the photographic series from Yevette.  This is more about irony than a travelogue.  Interesting choices and I didn't direct anything, this is purely her work.


This sort of thing isn't so far below the veneer painted by the rich of and it's not even that far from downtown Fort Worth on Hemphill.


The Stockyards


The Stockyards are a showcase in Fort Worth with many tourists coming to town for the rodeos and the overall vibe of it.  The perception in the photograph is intriguing because it's easy to pop off a flashy snap of the steakhouse across the street with a million lights but it isn't all doing so well, despite America bunting all over the place.



Patriotism flies from everywhere in Fort Worth, rarely from the the state but definitely everywhere else.


If you can't find socialism in the top predator of the bird kingdom, where will you ever find it.



Yevette  really doesn't like microwave towers; I mean she really, really doesn't like microwave towers for various reasons.



Of one thing we are sure, Bay Insulation will do absolutely nothing to insulate us from microwave radiation as there's so much use of them we're in a radiating bath with them.  Over the long term, that will probably turn us into frogs.  In the case of large segments of the Republican Party, it has already happened.




This one isn't all that incredible and they have one high-flier overpass which goes sub-orbital but all have one thing in common:  Yevette hates them.




Texas drivers croak over two hundred times a month and still pending is to discover what percentage of those is on the Interstates because the thinking is fatalities are less likely on the Interstate, even at higher speeds, because of the much-reduced chance of head-on collisions.  Unknown but curiosity will eventually bubble enough to get an answer.


OCD set into it.  If you differentiate open road Expressway from Urban Interstate, that part is highly safe with Rural Interstate even safer.  The definitions for Freeway, Expressway, and Interstate are not really clear enough to discover how much more or less safe it will be driving on a regular highway versus driving on one which is divided to eliminate as much as possible the chance for head-on crashes.
