Hoover Dam has series miles of copper tubing within it's concrete so chilled water could be pumped through and carry off the heat that concrete generates as it cures. Forgot the fancy term for it.

I heard that the concrete is still curing. Amazing what we did 70+ years ago. Now we can't even rebuild this:

Gonna take more than Band-Aid's and super-glue to fix that!

Looks like a do-over, as in do it over from the beginning.

I have every right to raise these questions because we are dealing with a group of no growth anarchist's affiliated with a similar group in the North West that planted fake evidence in a Forest Service study looking for endangered species in a EIR for a logging plan.

If you can spare a moment of your narrow mindedness you should read this...

Don't they know they have to exterminate those wild earth boaring creatures before they build a dam.

Yeah, those creatures from the movie Tremors are tough to get rid of.

Yes, it has become almost commonplace for these militant EnvironMental Pagag religionists to plant all sorts of supposed rare and endagered flora and fauna, or to play with photographic things with especially narrow angle shots that leave stuff out and even to the point of deliberately faking stuff with photoshop!!!

I'm not sure ctdonath2 was questioning your veracity but somehow thought you couldn't figure out what you were really looking at. Either way I can see how you'd think ctdonath2 was a little insensitive at best and a little insulting at worst.

Oh well. It's 7:38 so time for another carafe of wine, right???

Relax, bucko. Was just pointing out some plain indicators of non-photoshopping.

Having examined many "photoshopped" pictures (and those not but accused thereof), I was simply making the relevant suggestion of looking a little deeper at the images before jumping to the "conspiracy" line of reasoning.
