"What the Hell....???"

So tonight I get home from work. It had been a very long day (I won't get into it) and I headed out to get the mail just after 7.

As I was looking around my yard (just something I like to do to see how things were growing), something caught my eye.

Actually, something BIG caught my eye!

Yes, that monstrosity that you see in the picture was protruding up like the king of all eye-sores. I couldn't believe it!

Ok, for the past week I had heard a lot of noise coming from that direction. "That direction" is looking out from my front porch towards the recently-built fire station.

Now, I have no objections about the fire station. I actually voted to have it built there due to the fact that the station that previously served me was about 7 minutes away and was separated by a railroad track.

But when they built it, my view was taken away. You see, between those 2 houses I could see the Dallas skyline. Seriously... I could stand on my front porch and look between those houses and see the lights of downtown. It was really cool...

So the fire station came and I sacrificed my view. Fine. But in all honesty, "what the hell is that thing???" At first I thought it was a cell tower. Then I realized it must be tied to the fire station.

Yes... I'm sure it's gotta be a siren. Uugh... if that thing wakes me up on a Saturday morning, "grumpy McButterPants" is going to emerge and tear it down!

Geez... I just can't get over it... it's hideous. And now I have 2 things blocking my view of downtown Dallas...

Oh the humanity...
