What is this thing?
Whilst looking at satallite images for Tyler's house (nice mountain view btw) I came across this odd looking thing just west of Salt Lake City.
Here are two pictures. What the heck is this?

Winner!
BTW, Google has your address wrong then. Unless Tyler Morris is not your real name.
I spend waay too much time with google satallite pictures. Any time I take a road trip I trace the whole way via satallite. I also spend time looking up people from this board. So far I actually used it to help find chiffer's homes twice for visiting purposes.

Flydood,
It's probably because I'm not listed in any phone directories...because of one or two professions I used to do in my line of work. (prison system guard, "bounty hunter", and because I have location specific knowlege of several financial institutions from when I did work for Loomis, Fargo & Co.) You never know when a bad guy might come lookin' fer ya in those lines of work!

Tyler: You mentioned in a post that you were a "big dude" and said you would post a pic. I don't know if you ever did that, but given the, umm, hazards of your chosen career path(s), I was wondering how big a dude you actually were??

Inside this big ol' shell I'm just a softy at heart !
Tom, I'll post pictures as soon as I have Internet access at home again...we cancelled ours recently to opt for high speed cable because we dont use our phone line for anything but internet anyhow. the combined bill was more than cable internet, so we're switching.
I'll get one of me next to the car, then one in the car...you'll never believe your eyes!
Actually, Minis are deceptively roomy inside for thier size. My Mini has more room than my POS Toyota Corolla GT-S.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
