Mother of Invention Monday (on Tuesday)...Talking to the Mother Ship???

My friend, Kathy and I were up in the "city" to hit the store for something.

As usual, I went the wrong direction at the 4 way stop in town and pulled into a vacant parking area to turn around when we spied something winking across the railroad tracks. 

I stopped and we took a closer look. 

We decided that this deserved a detour on the way home and headed across the track.  We had to wind around the grainary and a few other oddities that didn't excite us enough to stop on the way to our big oddity...

This is what we saw...

It looks like a typical house, right? 

But look more closely...

We noticed that there are floodlights on the porch--in the middle of the day.

Hmmm...

Closer still...

We noted that lined up on the porch are stationary bikes.  Many of them.

And the one on the right has a tube through it with some silver metal things on each side.

Are they making electricity to light the floodlights?

Hmmm...

We drive on and see a pile of flotsom and jetsom which includes bikes and bike wheels????

This person must LOVE bikes...of all sorts!

We went around to the side (front???) of the house and see this...

A bunch more of the metal things in all shapes and sizes.

And more flood lights...

And ladders...

Let's look closer...

Now, normally if I saw ladders like this, I would suspect that the roof was leaking.

This roof looks new and in good shape. 

So what is the deal with the ladders????

Do they have anything to do with the shiny whirligigs???

And look at the shapes of the whirligigs...all kinds and some are on posts.  Metal posts.

See the house number on the porch?  Can you tell what it is made from?

It's a ceiling fan blade!!!!

This person is obviously a recycler...

Next to the house is the garage which has a carport to the side of it.

Out in front of the garage are more of the whirligigs on metal posts.

Then we looked inside the carport...

Look on the ceiling of the carport.

It is literally FULL of metal whirligigs!!!!!

They are hanging from the ceiling, on the walls and all over the floor and everything that is inside.

Then, we noticed...

The giant tower.

With Whirligigs all around the base and we felt we knew the answer at last...

Communicating with Mother Ship!!!!?????
