Steven,

LOL...God I have had days like that also. I almost stopped to take a picture of a broken water main near my house. It was ruptured by a bulldozer. What made it interesting is that it is the third time that same bulldozer has ruptured THAT SAME WATER MAIN in about as many weeks. Admittedly it was further up the line each time (they are widening the road) but you would think someone would get the idea eventually. By the way...immediately downstream from the rupture, in a resulting mud pond, the local shanty town kids were splashing and having the time of their lives. One even had an old inner tube. Construction workers were all around but no one bothered with the kids.

Best,
Stitch

Not long ago there was a "list" of things that indicated you had been in Asia too long, that circulated in the Kuala Lumpur ex-pat community. It started with:

You know when you've been in Asia too long when:
A. You realized the footprints on the toilet seat are yours!
