The first time I stumbled upon one of these monstrosities it stopped me in my tracks. Bewlidered, it took me a moment to absorb and rationalize what I was seeing and it reminded me of that iconic image of that lamp shade wearing guy who partied to much. I've seen many since then in several variations and still foster mixed opinions. While I do enjoy spans of unspoiled nature and beautiful uncluttered views, the benfit of modern convenience is hard to deny.....but does THIS really help?
