    Certain the crowd here will find this simply incredulous; I know misguided citizens that believe public art projects and day-care centers qualify as infrastructure.
    I'm forwarding this very picture to each one, with briefest note possible "INFRASTRUCTURE".
    Some will get it by text message, some by email, some won't get it at all.
    Sincerely,

    I wonder if that old pipe is still in service? SO MUCH of our infrastructure in the US is so old.

    This was in the days before anyone thought of OSHA. Notice the men wearing BRIMED hats, nothing like a hardhat in sight. Back when these pictures were taken, probably no one had thought of protecting the workers with cave-in trench protectors.
