not necessarily metalworking related. here in my small town they put up
some cell antennas about 2 or 3 years ago. we had a big thunderstorm a
couple weeks ago. one of the antennas got zapped. sorry to say i think it
looks pretty funny. bzzzapp!

The two remaining antennas just don't look right. Usually the antennas are set to be
directional so the cells are pie shaped. From the ground it looks like a open box around
the radiator.
