Pumpjacks in My Neighborhood

Today we start a new feature to give my non Texan friends an idea of what it's like living in Odessa Texas, Pumpjacks in My Neighborhood. Nothing says West Texas like a big damn pumpjack by the side of the road. For those who don't know, a pumpjack is what they use to pump oil out of the ground after they've drilled for it with the taller "oil well" structure that you may be familiar with from movies and television. When working it resembles a giant steel bobbing bird

Today's pumpjack is located on Redondo Street near my house.
