Not only was I born and raised in Texas but no one will ever take the Texan out of me. That being said, I'm continually surprised at how the population of the great lone star state has increased. Unfortunately, it's not just because of the Texans pro-creating nope it's mostly the dumb Californians who have continued to push into our state border and make their new home here. Yea know what I digress about that though because talking about those f-tards is going to needs pages and pages as it would also talk about their damn f-upped policies too. Anywho!
The point I'm tying to get at regarding this post is about my state. The main cities of the state have truly evolved and expanded. Structurally, population sizes, small businesses, chains, large businesses, corporate company branches, hotels, communities/neighborhooods, and more importantly our roadways. The Texas span of roadways and highways has always impressed me or the way our roadways are organized during construction is both mind boggling and impressionable to me. Living outside of Texas has one appreciating how the Lone Star State really is organized and unique in the most interesting of ways. What does that mean? Well for starters after traveling the nation and living outside of Texas you come to appreciate how organized (most if not all the time) the construction of the roadways are for Texans because let me you some other states are seriously out of sorts!
Which brings me to this picture I found in my digital photo albums. I took it back in 2011 on a Nikon camera at the time. It was when they were working on the crossover of 121 onto the Dallas North Tollway.
I honestly was taking the picture because of the sunset when I was driving home from work but I've kept it for so long because of how cool the cranes and construction trucks look like in the foreground, in a pretty unique shadow from the sun rays behind. For those of you reading this and quite possibly don remember this time period of construction or perhaps you weren't living here yet or maybe you never drove out to the Plano and Frisco area-whatever category you fall under, the point is I remember this job site so vividly and the level of thought process provided for this traffic control during it's construction...well needless to say it was both impressionable (like I mentioned above) and leaves you itching to meet or perhaps know exactly who was in charge of the planning, routing, and organization of the install and traffic control.
Anyway, just had to share because I was reminiscing...the fact is moments like this or pictures with meaning are always something that helps me reflect not just in my history but of how/who I was during that time period. So what's your favorite highway or spot where perhaps you've taken a photo with construction as your background :p .
Sincerely,
A Distinct Woman
