A Cow

It was brown.
As usual, I leave my house for school at 4:00 a.m. sharp on most school days. I have seen this strange contraption many times, but have hesitated to take a picture for fear of scaring the residents of this dwelling with my flash. Note that the dish in the image is a parabolic reflector. Electromagnetic waves from a satellite source will be beamed at a relatively infinite distance, making the waves parallel. The waves are then reflected to the focus of the parabola, where that receptor thingy is. This will ensure a clear image or sound on what ever appliance the family is using. I don't want to talk about the geosynchronous satellite that is providing this dish with electromagnetic waves, for fear of disturbing the mv^2/r.
