Facing down the sewer monster

7:44 PM Mon, Jan 21, 2008 | Permalink

Photographer Ken Jones is always up to a challenge. Here, he goes lens-to-nose with a sewer pipe-crawling remote controlled inspection device. This and other very cool sewer-inspection-and-repair devices were used in more than 700 miles worth of sewer lines in and around Olympic Park.

Just checking. We're told there were no major problems found.
We learned more today about sewage treatment and water reclamation than I ever knew there was to learn.
Beijing and our tour organizers continue to amaze.
Tomorrow, we visit the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube and some of the other competition venues. I am too tired and getting very loopy. Believe it or not, touring, smiling, asking questions about sewage treatment and food inspection practices, taking bus-ride after bus-ride… It adds up and beats a guy down.
Cheers.
206 days…
