Anyone think that the light in the doorway at the end of the hall in this picture looks a little like a face looking down the corridor??? With a cross next to it. Spooky man

This is among my first comments/posts, whatever, to Opacity. I want to apologize in advance if it becomes longwinded (Again). I have wanted to address a more or less recurring question that comes up; Why did they just leave that equipment there?

I sort of have an answer based upon my own experience. I spent quite a few years working for the government(well 18+)so my thoughts about this are based on observations, as well as hands on.

Ok, here goes (IMHO). When the government (state or federal heretofore referred to as Gov cause I am lazy sometimes HEH HEH insert Govt worker joke here) purchases, equipment they contract from company X for Y number of (lets say pretty institutional gray desks.) to be manufactured and shipped to warehouse Z for distribution to various facilities. Now imagine that the Gov contracted with X to produce Y=20000 desks per year for five years (Please, Please just making a point) you end up with a lot of desks right? Now all the pretty institutional green offices will be supplied with pretty gray desks plus a few left over. (Whew, am I long winded or what?) Getting long, time to shorten. Five years is over new contract for 100000 fake wood desks to replace gray ones, warehouse full of fake wood desks, old facility closes, the hell with grey, we'll use fake wood at new place, just leave the gray ones there we'll get them later if we need them. (Although they almost never do.). This applies to a lot of different stuff. I must admit though it was a lot more common 15 or 20 years ago (Age of abandonment of the buildings Motts photographs for us.)


Ok sorry way long.

Motts keep em coming just be safe man.

Umm....Grifspop. That is most defiantly a super high capacity soap dispenser...well....I may be off the mark. It might be just a sooooper soap dispensing light fixture.

*Mumbles nearly incoherently "Man why did I put up that first comment/post, now my fingers are going to just get carried away"*

Sorry for the cornfusion LST, it's the paragraph above Post A Comment. My Bad!

~Me, if you can dance horizontally, you must be a contortionist. Unless, of course, you are talking about something totally different. Is a muzzle in order here...? And why are you talking about undergarments again?

Depends, can we do it horizontally?

WHY would you need a toaster in your office?

so you could eat toast.........HELLO

In order to do the Pirate dance, you simply have to be. (and wear or bring something to the dance that is Pirate-like....) we need to talk. See the paragraph above? Click on Opacity Junkies. All the regulars, and then some, are on there.

**Applauds...gives LST69 standing ovation.....and a silver cumezekyame...(won't throw underwear)**

Sorry I cannot possibly reveal the top secrets of the "handy" light fixture's principle of operation, or weather or not it exsists at all. It must remain unknown ~Me for all time. (unless you can treach me the pirate dance). ^_^

great place too store beer

Lynne never stand silent, patients/clients/residents, need an outspoken advocate such as yourself to make sure that they know someone really cares.

I have always been moved (guess you can say) by your comments. You TRY to remind people that there are those that care.

I dunno what to say really but your posts/comments, really hit home with me, make me remember that not every one in your tough field is totally burnt out.

Keep it real Lynne
