Oil derricks are hardly used anymore. Probably just decoration or just hasn't been moved. It could be a drilling or maintenance rig, but I doubt anybody is drilling nowadays...
Derricks and pumps used to be everywhere, and many still are sitting there.
As Dan notes, they're not in use. Oil prices are too low.
Doesn't pay to bring it up. Especially since we're so busy stealing Iraqi oil.
BTW, that's a cotton field it's sitting in, which means the picture probably is from around Lubbock in the panhandle.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Those pictures kinda remind of the area of Manchester I used to live in. For those that know Manchester, the three years I lived in Manchester I lived in Rusholme, Longsight and Moss Side respectively. Same kind of red brick houses, boarded up, but as Spiffor said the cars are less nice (had a jacked car burned in front of my house once, not a pleasant experience).
Manchester is kind of weird as the neighbourhoods are very ethnically separated (Rusholme is mainly Pakistani, Longsight white trash and Moss Side West Indian and West African), but rather intermixed with students (as the university is very near these neighbourhoods and the rents are ridiculously low). Moss Side particularly is known for gang warfare (Yardies), and when I lived there, there were 3 fatal shootings within 200 yards of my house. But the rent was real cheap

You know, Albert, roads run both ways.
It's entirely possible for people to actually leave Philly.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

People probably do, and the ones that do are more likely to be the hard working ones, meaning less cash in the community and more hardship. Deprived urban areas only become more prosperous if people stay or come in, but this quite often means the original inhabitants not being able to afford living there anymore. In the 3-4 years i was in Manchester the Docklands went from abandoned warehouses to the new yuppie centre in the North of England, and all because of the money that came into the city after the IRA gutted it in 96 and in preparation for the Commonwealth Games last year.

Do these happen to be the same people who buy '03s, MJs, etc.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Yeah, the same ppl you are complaining about now, and the same ppl that will want to be your posse when the chips are being cashed. Come on! Get a better excuse.
By the way, you can make up as many excuses as you want, but there will never be a reason.

Who give's a rat's ass what people say, Albert ?
I mean, really.
Let them talk about you. All that means is some other poor bastard is getting a break.
