Puzzler challenge April, 9,

We have determined that the posts in the ground diffuse the static electricity from the dam in the river.  It remains to be explained however, what static electricity is, how it happens, and why it is dangerous.  I believe I’ve figured it out.  Water whooshing over the diversion dam washes away all the electrons, building up an electrical deficit that can only be satisfied by sucking the life out of any nearby humans.

Static electricity is zombies!

Puzzler answer April, 8,

What might this government installation be?  It’s hard to figure out.  It’s very close to the river; that’s a clue.  It is also just upstream of a diversion dam.  The explanation doesn’t really work until you connect the two.  I never made the connection on my own, I had to give up and ask what it was.  The water flowing over the dam creates substantial static electricity.  This line of posts in the ground, not the fence posts but the sunken posts in the middle, is linked to the dam to diffuse that built up static electricity.

It was fun April, 8,

But it was time.

We had to let Christie and Andy leave and go home.

To finish them off properly, we fed them breakfast from the taco bar at the gas station, and a late lunch from the truck stop.  Got to have the full experience.

Today’s challenge

A federal government installation at Anzalduas.

It’s a whole bunch of wooden posts painted black and yellow surrounding something in the middle.

It’s hard to figure out.

It’s right adjacent to the river.  What could it be?
