Would You Know This Papa?

Don't be surprised if you don't!

I wrote some special sentences for my high school Spanish class:

En esa casa hay una papa.
La papa que está allí es blanca.
El papa vive en la casa con la papa.
El papa toma Pepsi y come la papa.
El papa va a la catedral.
No hay papas en esa casa.

As you can see, I ended up with a nice little story. (I didn’t set out to do that, but things happen.) I should illustrate it.

I struggled for a title:

A Potato and a Pope
No Hay Papas
Of Potatoes and Popes
A House Without Papas
When a Papa Isn’t What You Expect

“Inbound Heavy B52, You’re Clear…”

“…for landing at Port 5 East.”

“Outbound Light B23, please use Port 2 North.”

Isn’t this a control tower?

Sorry about the distortion; the shot was taken at long range with the camera cranked up to its full 12X zoom.

To see the above photo in its context, click it.

So, anyway, if those things aren’t control towers for the bee hives, what are they?!

Production primers of some sort?

Sun-powered pre-heaters of some other sort?

Solar nurseries?

I really do want to know!

(And for those of you wanting to know, this photo was taken from our car by Andrew; the location is the north side of Oregon Hwy 211 between Woodburn and Molalla near Kropf Rd — aka Canby-Marquam Highway — about two miles from Yoder.)
