An engineer samples the water coming into the new pipe, making sure it's safe for consumption. But there is a tale: I was the one suckered into installing the pipe. Part of the process is to swab the insides of the pipe with chlorine, and then pump the finished pipeline full of chlorinated water. Just to ensure no nasties make people sick. I popped in one of those pool testers to see of it had been chlorinated properly. It said to wait a few minutes. My test strip went violently purple instantly. Regular drinking water has .5 ppm chlorine. Comfortable pool water has 2-3ppm. Superchlorinated water for pipe washing has 100ppm. This particular pipe was tested at over 1,000ppm. Nothing survived that bleaching. How does my phone relate to this? I touched the keypad after handling the superchlorinated water, turning it instantly brown & yellow and making the rubber keypad... more rubbery. Tip: Don't touch superchlorinated water.

A number of Soldiers with the 188th Engineer Company exchange letters with schoolchildren in North Dakota thanks to some pen pal connections made by the North Dakota National Guard Youth Program.
One Soldier is Spc. Kris Schaller, of Fargo. When Schaller was home on leave recently, he called his pen pal, Max, to let him know he’d be passing through Bismarck and had time to meet with him and his mom there.
“He is an extremely valuable Soldier, and now this just speaks to what kind of person he is,” said 1st Sgt. Eric Binstock, of Argusville, N.D. “I am totally impressed and in awe of this amazing citizen-Soldier we acquired when Schaller volunteered to deploy with us.”
Max seems pretty in awe, too.
“The picture says it all,” Binstock wrote when he passed along a photo of the writing buddies. “I think this made Max’s year!”
Here’s what his mom had to say in a letter to Jessi Clark-Woinorowicz, state youth program coordinator: “I just wanted to share an exciting story of our day with you. Today the pen pal you set Max up (with) gave us a call. He is home on his two-week leave and was coming through Bismarck and wanted to see if he could meet Max! We met with him at Perkins for soda and a cookie, and he told us about Kuwait and showed Max some pictures of his grandpa in WWII. I must say, North Dakota produces some very respectable Soldiers. Again, thanks for all you have done to help make this possible for my son! Kris is a wonderful person, and we are very blessed to have the chance to meet him!”

"Engineer at Work"
Week 6
This week's challenge was "at your desk." I had intentions to do something cool at home, but I'm finding time is hard to come by these days. So here's a quick snap at work of things I use everyday. As you can tell, coffee is important to me because it's the fuel that keeps my brain functioning. I also spend a good bit of time each morning grinding beans and brewing it in a French press.
Stranger #98 of my Flickr 100 Strangers is Tommy, who works as an Engineer for a local railroad and lives in Old Town Spring where I met him while I was admiring his beautiful Confederate rose bush.
He shared with me that it was a cutting from his mom as were most of his plants... He has a lovely yard with Bottlebrush, Roses, Texas Star, and Confederate Roses along with other neat flowers. He tries to plant things that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
Single currently though he has tried marriage twice and takes pride in his Texas roots (check out his Tin Texas star, Lone Star trim, and his cowboy hat planter on his front steps). He really enjoys his gardening and loves riding his "Harley" motorcycle. Laid back and happy to talk about his lovely garden and gave his mom lots of credit for getting him started. Thanks so much Tommy for taking time to visit with me and share your beautiful garden... and for agreeing to be one of my 100 Strangers on Flickr.

A new friend Bob. He goes by the nickname of "Engineer". A resident of the city for the past 7 years,bob originally came from the east coast and settled in Tucson. So here we are 8 am on a Sunday in February and its freezing. Probably 40 degrees, Bob is making his morning brew and rolling his cigarette. He is such a cool guy. Talking to him you wouldn't know he lives on the street.
As in all cities, Tucson has its share of homeless residents. I have met many while working as a Paramedic. I try to go and spend some time with them listen to their stories and just enjoy their company. Some of them have had very interesting lives. Bob is a Vietnam Veteran.
In my eyes many homeless people I have met have had a rough patch at some point in their life that put them in their current predicament.
I processed the original with PS CS4 to enhance the character and create a little more dramatic moment.
A little desaturation, noise, high pass, and contrast goes a long way.
Equipment: Canon XSI - Sigma 50mm @ f2.0. I just love the simplicity of the 50mm lens. Lightroom 2.2 and PS CS4.
