Internets - Here's a classic. I did this about 15 years ago after a trip back to Kansas, where I spent my first day on Earth. I don't remember much about my first day but growing up in Kansas gave me plenty to remember.
One of the things they do in Kansas is grow grain. They replaced all the buffalo with cattle, who eat the grain and graze on the grass that is everywhere else grain isn't. When the settlers first got to Kansas there were these people living in inverted cones who didn't wear shirts. They were a nuisance so were gotten rid of. Some of them are still around today (you see them sleeping in malls and underneath highway overpasses) and everybody kind of feels bad about what their deceased relatives did but oh well. It's a harsh life on the prairie.
So they have all this grain and need places to store it (so cattle, thieves and any remaining natives can't get it). They built big concrete tubes and put the grain in those. They need to move it around so they built tracks for trains to haul it from one place to another. Sometimes this happens at night.
That is what this picture is about.
