In the desert, the big bruhaha is about faux landscaping elements designed to disguise cell phone towers. We have old-school, butt-ugly, plain metal towers, as well as faux trees of all sizes, shapes, and colors, and rocks in an assortment of sizes and shapes, but there just isn't any pleasin' the folks! The faux cell phone tower pine trees don't match the natural desert vegetation (duh!), so we planted faux cell phone palm trees -- that look just like cell phone towers disguised as FAKE palm trees. The vegetation response was to quiet the protestors about using plain ole metal cell phone towers, but this is the land of hundreds of HUGE metal windmills whirling the tourists into the Valley! Why not just hide the cell phone towers in the windmill fields and be done with it!
Now, the protests have targeted the faux rocks that just don't look ... rocky ... enough, to the point that critics are telling the cell phone companies to go out and round up some REAL desert rocks to surround the FAKE rocks so they look more "natural."
Okay, so you be the judge: is surrounding this huge faux rock with real desert rocks gonna work for you? Make the faux rock look more real? more natural? more like God placed it in the ideal desert location to generate more signal bars? Or is just about anyone who sees this gigantic FAKE rock in the middle of any natural environment gonna know that this is a FAKE rock?
Yeah, that's what I thought!
We just all have too much time on our hands to worry about far too many little things that don't warrant the time, the resources, or the expenditure of personal energy.
