| Image: The long brown line. There are a lot of people in Chico whose poop does not stink. You can tell, because there is no shortage of people that tell us how to live our lives. But for the rest of you, I'm glad this giant poop diffuser is being installed in the Sacramento River. Because un-diffused poop is one of the worst things you can find yourself canoeing in (let alone swimming through). The project report for the city's new sewer line was put together by "Carollo Engineers" whose tagline is "working wonders with water". I think it should be "Sacramento River, it's more than just a toilet!" Gateway Pacific Contractors was issued a Notice to Proceed on June 23, 2009 and has been active on site from this date. The project is on schedule for the planned completion in early 2010. The total contract is $4,205,722 with current accumulated billings totaling $2,940,004. The diffuser array piping segments were floated into the cofferdam for installation of the anchor blocks in preparation of sinking the diffuser array. Water was introduced into the diffuser array, sinking it in place. The diffuser array is one of the final steps in completing a vast new sewer line project. A new 84" diameter concrete pipe has been routed directly to the city council chambers. Apparently dozens of giant clogs have fouled the city sewers in recent years. That building has been identified as the epicenter of the excessive excrement. The water downtown will also be enhanced with a gentle laxative. An additional 84" pipe was to be routed to Meriam Park, Chico's answer to big city livin'. But it was determined that it would be more neighborly if people walked to a communal toilet. After budgetary problems surfaced, a final decision was made to have new residents walk to the Taco Bell on 20th Street. For those people that can't make the walk, the following product will be made available. |

About Me: Fasten your seatbelts for an exhilarating trip through Chico's public policy; I guarantee it's marginally better than public access TV.

Oh, Dawg, that is going to put a snicker in my giblet all day!

Oh stop it, I'm going to crap my pants!

Oh now, you're really being juvenile, I love it!
I hope the meeting wasn't too bad last night. I had to go watch my kid's hockey team kick the crap out of Schoonover's team, couldn't resist. What a game, tied up for 40 minutes, back and forth, back and forth. Our kids kept their cool and won in the last minute. This is the first time my kid has been on a winning team in 5 years, and yeah, I think it is more fun when you win, come to think of it. Especially when you beat Schoonover's team, oh yeah.
I was just having some fun. That's one big sewer pipe though.

Maybe a little potty humor will boost the blog hit ratings?
I thought this was kind of cool speaking of 84" sewer pipes.
