Topsy Turvy


I have talked about the construction down on Shore road where they are drilling under the street, and installing two black plastic pipes for the whole length of Shore Road.  Turns out they are sewer pipes for the new condominium complex just beyond the old LILCO plant and the sewer pipes go all the way to Glen Cove, to their sewer treatment plant..  They take 30-foot lengths of this plastic pipe, and put the ends in a machine that heats both ends and then bonds them together in sections that are over 1000 feet long.  You can see two sections of the long pipe here on the ground.  They put traffic cones around the pipes because in this area they are on the sidewalk.  What caught my eye was how topsy turvy the cones were, instead of sitting flat on the ground, they are leaning on the pipes, all topsy turvy.  I thought it looked funny, and worth a picture.
