Cones will travel. Thanks for following them? Giving them new homes? Picturing them in their intimate moments?

I've never really thought of that - but you're right - they do move around a lot - stories to tell ...

Ha, I have a very similar collection. It's good to know it's not just me that sees the beauty and the pathos of these abandoned sentries..left to slowly rot after such dutiful service..

There are far too many of these things that I'm drawn to! Once you start noticing them you start to notice the variations and personality of them - plus how they are treated my the public.
