Things that make you go, well, to the Internet to try to figure it out

We had fun with the Blackberry car mystery. It’s time for another round of “who knows what in the world this is about?” It looks like a life preserver around the base of a tree, but as far as I can tell the tree isn’t adrift. In fact, it looks just like all the other trees in the row of trees – and they don’t have any visible support. The row of trees are not recently planted and the device wasn’t employed until recently. It looks like it may be filled with water or some other liquid. I was hesitant to prod it to be certain. I believe it’s been around the base of more than one of the trees in that section of Union Avenue by Market Street, but I’m not sure. Remember, you can click the images to get a larger view. What do you think? I’ll give a shout out to the detective who breaks the case. Happy sleuthing.
