Look at the name of the 5th wheel. If the owner didn't do something real quickly, that truck will go with it.

This is a closeup of a sprite... an extension of lightning in the upper atmosphere... fires upward. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_%28lightning%29

Talk about solitude. Don't have to worry about crime. Hey, is that the outhouse over to the left? This is an island in Iceland.

Now that is my kind of living. No crowds, no hustle and bustle. Left to my own devices.

By devices, do you mean computers and cell phones? A bit of TV, perhaps?
Wonder if they have cell phone or broadband? Or power? What do they do for electricity? A wind mill, perhaps?

I don't know about all that, but you could certainly buy a satellite system for TV and internet. I could care less about cell phones, I currently do not have one nor a desire to get one.

What is wrong with this picture? Is this a sign of the obesity epidemic in the US.

Now I can easily get by without TV, but my cell phone is permanently attached to my hip. It's one of those Samsung Galaxy Blaze phones. I don't talk on the phone much, but having the power to surf the 'net at lightning speeds (4G) while waiting at stoplights and so forth is invaluable to me.
Love it!

I'd have a big tower up to pick up distant TV, and a bunch of HAM and CB equipment with a beam, a satellite dish and huge solar arrays or Wind generators.
Of course, I want anything that plugs into the wall or runs off batteries. I could justify getting that stuff if there were no cell phone coverage... and I doubt it is out there.

I'm surprised that there is only one heifer in the picture.

This stuff fascinates me. The central and peripheral nervous system of a human being. So, it turns out that deep down we're all just flying spaghetti monsters. I wish the lighting on the figure was better; it's not illuminated very well, IMO. I tried to lighten it up.

Weather "events" interest me a lot.
If I was close to THIS baby, I'd be really excited... and running for the storm shelter...
Could this be somebody's photoshop? It looks too clean at ground level. You'd think that there would be a debris cloud around it with stuff flying everywhere.
EDIT: According to the Imgur user Trust Me, I'm a Doctor: "This is a wall cloud Meso Cyclone. Not a tornado. A tornado may have spawned from this, though"
