The “as built” will cost way more than $600M, count on it. On the other hand even then, it would still only be 0.001th of Musk’s total estimated wealth.

Probably safer than the portion of Rock Creek which he took a dip in last year (wearing blue jeans).

@ruprecht I’m going to enjoy sharing this with Lisa. The Ronco mention and this clip is fun. She has also toured with Weird Al. He wrote Mr. Popeil and she sang on the album.

Hmm, so this kind of logic isn’t just for excusing losing wars anymore?

I’ve done it, because I’m originally from Oklahoma, but swimming in jeans feels gross.

I’m off for a follow up for what seems to have been a successful vascular surgery.
I’m glad to be able to walk around without discomfort again.
Enjoy the morning, everyone.

How do they keep the water moving?

I imagine there’s a pump and filtration system. Algae, of course, dies like every other living thing and settles to the bottom creating an oozy layer.

Would that be “paid actors”?
Once again, everything they claim about anti-ICE protestors is projecting.

I think Donald is already over it.
He’ll wait two weeks and then remind everyone how he fixed Biden’s mess.

That just it. If it moved faster they wouldn’t have the same issues. Then again, it wouldn’t be a reflecting pool. The waves would prevent that.
So, painting it was a useless exercise. Soon the bottom will be as it always was.

Trying to contact TSF from the Great Beyond.
I heard somewhere that the Peace Committee is broke because no one is following through on their pledges.

The water already contains chlorine. This is a version of the “shock treatment” you use when you’re pool goes green. And the leak problem is the pipes that move the water to and from the treatment plant
The water is then cycled through the filters over and over to be reused. Every three or so days, the whole pool is filtered. The pipes keep leaking and breaking, however. The Park Service thinks this is due to the pressure of the surrounding soil.
“It’s almost impossible to maintain the water level that is required to make the pool reflective,” said Kym Hall, a former National Capital Area director for the National Park Service. “It’s like pouring water into a colander.”
Add to that the water is shallow, waterfowl poop, other organic and inorganic debris that ends up in the water, and 90+ temps and lots of sun. No way it’s going to be clean until, oh, maybe September?
ETA: I spent a few years in the industry - and not in the “let us test your water and we’ll tell you all the things you need to buy from us” side of it.

May as well just repeal the emoluments clause from the constitution.
