Lunchtime fun

So just a couple of days ago Mike Meskill, Durrell Ramer and myself went to get a sandwich and soup for lunch.  Durrell always suggests healthy food places during the rare times we head outside of the building together and it's for that, and the great conversation, that I like hanging out with him at lunch.  Until this week, that is....

On the way down Pleasant View Road, we pass a number of interesting small businesses, a beer distributor and a meat packing company in the Middleton Industrial Park.  However it wasn't beer or meat that caught our eyes this fine summer day.

Standing on the curb, prominently perched in a pile of throw out old personal belongings from one of those rental storage facilites was the coolest orange ceramic lamp we've seen in a long time.  Meskill was not impressed.  "We should get that."  "Yes, we should."  "That's a cool lamp."  Meskill thinks we're nuts.

On the way back we see it again.  "Should we stop." "Yes."  But Meskill groans about having to be at a meeting.  "But you can drop me off and go back."  So we did.

We hustle back up the street, put on the blinkers, hop out on to the curb and pick up the prize.  It was at this moment that I thought it would be fun for Dick Titus to see two of his managers digging through the trash on Pleasant View Road.  (A pic of the prize is attached).

This place is fun.

I'm laughing so hard because I have dug through that trash on certain days too!! It is just too interesting to pass up!

Please tell me this will not be a model for future ETC industrial design.

I’ll be impressed when I see this lamp working on my next trip to Middleton in late August.
