This is sort of silly, but I get fascinated with the lights
I see in the distance from the Monona Terrace. My readers may remember how I
spent several years trying to figure out what a low building with red lights
was, only to discover it was just a strip mall. However, that strip mall
contains both Crema Café, a wonderful place to get brunch, and Fired Up, a
wonderful place to make fused glass, so discovering what the lights were was no
waste of time. Recently I had noticed a strange set of lights in the distance,
something new that hadn’t been there before. It was near some radio towers, but
it was more lit up than the radio towers, with sparkly lights all the way up
its height. Travalon and I tried to figure out where it could be, and we took
one ride looking for it on Cottage Grove Road but were unsuccessful. I
noticed during the day that whatever this tall object was, it looked a bit like
a mosque, with a lower, rounder building and a tall thing like a minaret, and
it was behind a large green water tower. I knew the water tower was right
behind the high school in Monona, so if the other object were a bit further
back, it was probably in an industrial park where Stoughton Road and Pflaum
Road intersect. Last night Travalon said let’s take a ride over there, and we
found the tower all lit up. It is something for a company that produces gases
for welding, so nothing as immediately useful to me as the lights that turned
out to be the strip mall, but I was still happy to have found what it was.
Maybe if I ever have need of gas for welding, this knowledge will come in
handy.
