Hell in a Handbasket

I am fascinated by cell phone towers. Don't ask me why, they just appeal to me. Ugly, with all these antennas sticking out, I can certainly see why most people consider them to be eyesores.

But I like the way they look. If the future that the science fiction writers had been promising us since the 1930's had come to pass, we might just have seen anti-spaceship weapons being built in every sizable town and city in order to repel the inevitable Martian invasion. And those weapons might just have resembled modern day cell phone towers.

Or maybe not.
