Photos Of The Lot - The Tower



I have decided to make a new occasional post on interesting views of my lot at work. It won't be as often as a water post, but just when the spirit moves me.

I feel like starting with the most prominent feature on our lot. The microwave tower.

Built in 1971, it dominates the surrounding area and I am sure that the choppers at Children's Hospital use it as a guide, as they come in for a landing across the street.
Once in a while, we get a hawk who decides to call it home. Watching for easy prey to catch and eat. It works well for them, being most things on the ground don't even look that high up.

As I walk toward work each morning, it is the first thing I see and it always makes me smile, because it proves that I work in Broadcasting, a career that I totally love.

  1. It is not the tower or the talk of the hawk that strikes me in this post, but rather your love for broadcasting.

    That truly moves me - that you love what you do. So few people seem to do so... I once loved broadcasting too, and I look back at it fondly. When I stopped loving was when I knew I needed to go. However, I still feel a kind of happiness considering it all, what a time I had. I am grateful.

    See - you put up the lot and tower and I go all philosophical and so forth. That's how blogging is!

    Have a great day!

  2. Fran, if it hadn't been for Broadcasting, I would never have met you. That's a plus right there. :-)

    I can't say my life is perfect, because it is not...but yes, I have loved my time working my career and that is something to be happy about. Do I wish it was better, yes, of course I do. Bottom line is that I appreciate the little things that give me joy and one of them is the really cool buildings that make up the lot that I call my workplace. That is what I hope to detail through these posts. Enjoy.

  3. You do an amazing job of communicating here and as that was our shared major in college...

    Seriously. I don't get here every day any more, but I come here more frequently than most other blogs. It is of course because of you but also because of what you do and how you do it.

    Thanks! And I am glad that we met that way the first time and this way the second time!
