I just had to email the Director of Sales and Marketing at Bingham and Taylor to find out what this thing is. He patiently explained that this is a 'drip box', 'an access point to bleed off condensation / water that could be in the gas line'. Yeah, natural gas can condense.
Whodathunkit?
And guess what the condensate is called? If you said 'drip gas', you're right!
'Drip gas is another name for natural-gas condensate, a naturally occurring form of gasoline found near many oil and natural gas wells, in natural gas pipelines, and as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. It is also known as "condensate", "natural gasoline", "casing head gas", "raw gas", "white gas" and "liquid gold"'
We walk over these utility boxes every day and never even see them any more, let alone wonder what they're for or who made 'em. This one was made in America by a company that's 164 years old - and counting. And they're making things that'll probably last another 100 years.

You wait ages to get the opportunity to do a drip cake, then two come along at once! I'd planned for ages to do my son a chocolate drip cake, when I got an order for one for the same week! :o) This was for my beautiful baby's 15th birthday! Chocolate cake coated with white chocolate ganache and a luxurious dark chocolate ganache 'drip' and topped with Curly Wurly, fudge, Maltesers, marshmallows, Crunchie and Matchmakers!
The drip line is buried right next to these cherry tomatoes. The water comes out of the line at one foot intervals as you can see by the wet spots in the bare dirt.

"Long as I remember
The rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder,
Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain."

Yesterday, my husband and I rode our bikes along Lake Michigan for close to 4 hours! We must have been crazy high on endorphins because then we went to the swimming pool, too. (Our legs were killing us by the evening though LOL. I kept saying, "ow, my legs, my legs!")
The two piece is a swimsuit I made for myself by cutting apart a new vintage Speedo one-piece swimsuit. My mom had bought it for me when I was a kid....it was way too big so I never wore it. Somehow it survived various house moves...still never worn....pricetag still attached. I recently found it again...this time it was *ahem* a little TOO SMALL! LOL. I cut it apart and altered it by adding two pink panels of new swimsuit fabric on the sides. This vintage one-piece became a halter top and hipster-cut bottoms that fit quite nicely. When i wear this swimsuit it reminds me of my childhood where we swam everyday of the summer. Ah, those were carefree times, weren't they? :o)
