I miss CLYDE! Only saw a little bit of it at the time. I wonder if there’s a CLYDE figurine somewhere…

Anyways! Depending on the design, it may be possible to run a snake through the works to clean things out. Would need to see it in person, though. From the research I did, it doesn’t appear that Florida has any yet 🙁

Yeah, Crichton’s works were much more serious than, say, John Scalzi’s works (which I highly recommend) are. He mostly keeps his cracks in his forwards but I do enjoy his books. The Andromeda Strain was a weak one but it was also one of his earliest.

I know I’ve mentioned this before but we really should bring back airships for shipping, at the bare minimum. As they’re in the sky, we can build them to immense size and then offload the goods by way of conveyors and the like. There are a lot of benefits to such a system, even if travel time is much slower than more traditional methods
