When driving on the highway I often spot squarish looking bodies of water. Too large to be a pond and too small to really be called a lake. I wonder if these are man-made (and if so, for what purpose?) or if there's just an abundance of oddly shaped bodies of water.

There's a bunch of those retaining ponds around the business complex I work; sometimes you will see delivery drivers killing time by fishing in them, and the egrets seem to enjoy camping them as well, but I would never eat a fish from there after seeing just how thick a layer of road salt can accumulate on the surface after a snow or ice event.

Hard to tell since there's never any piles of dirt or anything, but they're definitely not for farming I don't think. I actually passed some paddies. Unsure for what since it was in the middle of Arkansas.

When I ended up living in Florida by mistake for 8 months I got a job with a landscaping company. The pay was bad. We always had to weedeat around ponds and every pond had gators in it. I met the guys that had the job of removing gators. They got paid a lot better than us. It seemed like fun and more importantly they were my people. So I ended up working for them.

With some frequency in news and online I hear about "factory farming", but from my travels throughout the East Coast, Appalachia, the Midwest, South, and Southwest I have yet to actually see anything that looks like a factory farm. Cows in particular I've never seen anywhere other than modestly sized to large ranches. That said, I have been to chicken farms and can recall them being in cages to lay eggs and then their eggs would roll down metal tracks into a collection basket. I haven't really seen any pig farms. Sheep I've seen in Appalachia on small ranches. Horses you see everywhere on ranches (but obviously Americans don't eat horse). I wonder where all the factory farms are...

They're in the mid-west. East coast is mostly comprised of old small family farms that are slowly being converted into apartment complexes and gated communities.

dumb kuso birds always chew up the majority of the plums, not even to eat them whole, just peck and tear up part of the surface. the ones that fall tend to be 1/4 eaten.

This book I'm reading keeps using the word, "stave." I can't tell if they just wanted to use a different word than "club" or if they're under the impression that the plural of "staff" is "staves".

I should read more novels. A lot of the manga I read has an LN it was derived from and waiting on scanlation/new chapters is getting tiresome. There's also details left out or segments getting compressed due to the medium. Did you buy your books or get them from somewhere else on the interwebs?

Saw a plot where a gas station had been. Woody vines had overtaken the price display, which had long since lost its face and electronic innards just leaving a square metal scaffold. Brown plants broke up the concrete where the parking lot had been. Awfully melancholy scene.

Been looking at a lot of telephone poles. Most of them just have typical assortment of three cables, presumably for split phase + neutral (I think?) electricity, but some have a third or fourth cable not held by ceramic insulators like the rest. Wonder if those additional cables are genuine telephone lines or something else.

Speaking of bridges, the other day I drove past some construction being done on a highway interchange. From what I understand, newer elevated highways are made entirely of concrete spans, but this one I saw had steel members supporting the road above it. I wasn't sure if it was a new steel supported bridge, or maybe maintenance being done on an older highway.

 No.2460

Most likely they're using temporary steel supports before they pour new concrete supports. Who knows though. Where I live they've been working on the same highway for 15 years now and nothing ever seems to get done. Highway construction is a big scam. If they don't use up the entire budget this year they don't get the same amount of money the next year.

On the topic of bridges, I passed beneath another. This one had thick, heavy metal chains hanging slack from the bridge that then linked to concrete blocks set into the sloping inner edge beneath the bridge. It looked something like this. Wonder what those are for. Anything structural I would imagine as being taught and probably using braided steel cables instead of heavy chains so I can't really thing of what these might have been there for. Dampening to prevent the bridge above from moving too much? I have no idea.

That's a weird road at 45:17. Two lanes feeding into one lane that is wider than usual, but still not wide enough for two cars. Seems like a planning error there, but they don't seem to be going very fast so it's probably fine.

To be fair to the PRC, visitors of most places won't see any rough/bad parts because there's nothing for visitors there, and are mostly residental (this is excluding rural areas, which can get really bad, even the touristy stuff there gets horribly sad). The worst you'll see is some unhappy people in certain cities and binge drinkers in northern China.
There's a lot you can say about those commies and living under them but they make it an alright place to visit.
