A Nodding Donkey On The Hill

One of the many pumpjacks that dot the Signal Hill area in Long Beach, California. They're everywhere - next to Starbucks, behind grocery stores, in the Home Depot and Target parking lots, next to Jack-in-the-Box, in residential areas. It's odd to see them while going about daily business - in other areas where I've seen them, like Texas for instance, they're in the middle of nowhere and the entire place smells like crude oil.

Not so in Long Beach; in Long Beach they just nod to you as you drive by.

Pumpjacks, hmm? They always remind me of those little plastic drinking birds. Did you ever see those?

Lucky dogs. Cal-eee-fornia.

Can you see the mountains this week?
