During Thanksgiving weekend of 2015, the OKC metro was hit with one of those infamous ice storms that now seems to take place every couple of years or so. For almost three days, sleet, ice and freezing rain blasted the city, cracking tree limbs and toppling electric lines, and leaving thousands in the area without power.
40 days or so later, we're still reminded of that storm (and the ones that followed) thanks to those huge piles of sticks, branches, and logs that everyone stacked next to their curb foolishly thinking the city will someday pick them all up. Ha ha, suckers! You can't expect city workers to have time to pick up all these tree limbs, branches and dead leaves and still take care of their regular duties like smoking cigarettes and taking breaks.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share pics of my 10 favorite piles of branches I see whenever I take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes I'll look at the piles and think "I bet mice and other rodents enjoy this pile" or "How many dogs have peed on this" or "When is the city going to pick up this crap?!"
