Stay between the lines
Notice, if you will, what these parking lot lines are composed of.
What you see there are old fire hoses. Smaller than fire department hoses, but of a size I’ve seen used for wildland firefighting.
Reducing, Reusing and Recycling is a good thing. I’m all for it.
But nailing fire hose into asphalt instead of painting lines? I just…it seems…never mind.

I kindofjustnoticedtheminmyheadlights, then took that picture early next morning and took off without getting a lab test done on the makeup of the parking surface.
