Response to "Open Your Eyes"

I have walked the same way to class all year and for the last month since coming back from winter break I have seen this massive orange piece of earth moving equipment sitting on my route.  It took me awhile to notice it being there, it took me even longer to notice it was basically fenced in, and it sadly took me the longest to realize that it hasn't moved in the twenty something days that I have acknowledged its existence.  I was walking around the past week trying to find something for this blog post, continually passing this tractor never thinking much of it until today when I was walking by I heard two separate people comment on the absurdity of this giant vehicle being fenced in by three feet of paper thin caution fencing.  Both people made the point that the bright orange fencing is pointless and looked ridiculous.  I now we were supposed to observe something new but I saw a scene I had seen daily in a different way by two strangers comments.  I noticed the pointless fence and not the gaudy machine.
