The Channels Of Discovery!
The Channels Of Discovery!
In the 1990's the technology was available for your older urban municipalities to lease or own "sewer cam's".
My locality was a newly enfranchised sleeper community when there was only one color of Ford and the street car was THE inner urban transport.
The original farm houses had poop pits, cisterns, and hand dug wells that may or may not have been filled or 'capped' by concrete.
The new city laid out the streets, but a good part of the infrastructure was 'pay as you go'.
Decades of code changes mutated as the city/county sprawled *above and beyond*, and the post modern water treatment doctrine tightened up.
This ol' town was still sorting out the septic sewers from the storm runs in the '90's.
2009, it's a stark line item on the water/sewer bill that requests the reporting of any 'floaters' , if storm water floods your basement.
Property values do not rise with the biblically ordained tides of real estate dynasties, if your neighbors' sh-t percolates into your subterranean square footage.
Last time I rented a serious drain snake, 100' half inch cable, saw that I could rent a sewer cam too!
Wow!
But no, no thrill for me, seen Roto Rooter videos of various explorations, on NEW buildings because construction inspection standards can be that bad,
(or good for those that took the money, and/or the pay off, and ran ... nand/nor it's all just another 'oversight', a management f-ck up, ... but --> profit is profit, amen).
Now one just institutionalizes the deficiencies by budgeting yearly the thousands of dollars it requires to keep the waste water flowing, congenital pipe blockage,
all just a part of creative accounting, YOU AND I PAY for this... for forever !!!1!
What a concept, stealth socialism by the business/capitalist elite, have the community and customer base PAY for the f-ck-ups! Got to laugh or I'd cry ...
Any way, any one of you snarky web crawlers can rent a sewer cam and virtually spelunker your 'hood!
Perhaps do some reality stalking by peeking up your 'hawt' neighbor's drain grates! Finance your kinks with exposes of septic in the storm system!
Win-win! (Just, stand down wind, please.)
If big-buck journalists can hire private dicks to wire tap 'celebrities', why can't the entrepreneurial private consumer explore the lowest, labyrinthian, Channels Of Discovery!
As an inter web blogging, 21st Century hero of the First Amendment, the gods of investigative snooping can anoint your knobs!
Years of c-RPG mazes, you all could vector in your mind's eye, a B grade bee line to, the nearest-dearest,
bikini bottomed laundry rooms and topless ping pong bunkers!
It's not a sewer, any more, it's your golden, glory hole to U-toob fame and fortune!
It may be sh-t, but it be teh new sh-t!
