today's lesson- look up

as i was driving south on route 23 (new jersey) between the a town that i can't remember and Paradise Road i found myself drifting in and out of thought about what i needed to get done and also just taking in this new part of new jersey that i had not yet explored

as i rounded a bend somewhere around the 125 mile marker i happened to catch a glimpse of something resting on the top of the telephone poles that lined the road....a carved tin whale silhouette to be xact

thinking that i was seeing things i made sure to slow down and look at the next one....and sure enough on the next pole there was a scary halloween goblin and then next one was a penquin figurine, and the next one was a jack o lantern head and the next on was a NY Yankees symbol and so on and so on for about 10 poles maybe less.....

i was dumbstruck as to who thought to put these items on top of the telephone poles.....how in the world did they get them up there.....how did they make sure that their decorations withstood the weather and do they change them often.....

these were only a few of the questions that buzzed through my head as i learned my new lesson for the day- you never know what you will find if you just look up
