Default Where is the next thermal?

Two items:

1. Junkyards

2. Radio transmission antennas.

I can understand the junkyards. It's a good "discontinuity" in the
surrounding area and has the wrecked cars packed tightly together,
more so than the typical parking lot.

As for the antennas, we speculate it's not the antenna itself, but the
ground they're on. They are probably most likely on the highest spot
around, even though it all looks quite flat to us. And, we're talking
about the 2,000' tall, cable stayed antennas and not the little cell
phone towers. But I guess any water tower and radio antennas are
placed on the highest ground in the local area.

Remember, Your Mileage May Vary...
