Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for March 01, 2021

Also known as the “beacon”.

Horace seems to be having a problem with backing up lately.

True story: my wife and I were in the car of a friend of hers. We were in a car park and she needed to back up to maneuver. She looked back, saw a column and said, “there it is”. Then she proceeded to reverse and hit the column.

Now they will have to find the shut off valve.

I never knew horsie featured in em film noirs.

From surreal to so real.

Hope no passing pilots are blinded

centralized street lighting – didn’t thomas edison invent that?

so that’s where the light came from.

“P” for perplexing…

Ah- it was polarized light….

Instead of laughing, I went into instant nerd mode and started thinking about how to implement central lighting, and weighing it’s advantages. It can be done, but I think the losses would make it very inefficient.

….let there be light…..er….not this way…

just don’t light a match Horace… that just might be a gas light…?

Fiber optics.

There may have to be a light pollution report.

Clever!

It’s just not easy to go backwards with hooves…He must have been faster than the light if it couldn’t even get out of the way!

Horus is trying to gas light us!

Run Horace! Before your car is flooded with light!

Now that’s putting light up your tailpipe!

Is that how fiberoptic lampposts work?

Don’t phosphorous pipelines include a ‘no contact’ order?

" P might get you to downtown Junction City, Wisconsin not to Good Hope Road where PP is in Milwaukee."

Makes me think of my bird feeder, which the squirrels take for a pinata.

There are illuminated bollards that work like that. Good design — if someone hits it, you don’t get live electric wires exposed, and you only have to replace the above-ground plastic component.
