After spending weeks searching for what might be blocking the Highway 99 tunneling machine, officials say there’s another problem: Bertha is running hot.
Adding to the trouble, project managers say they don’t know why.
High temperatures near the machine’s cutting face prompted contractors to stop mining after the drill advanced a total of 4 feet in test runs Tuesday and Wednesday. And that ended Bertha’s attempt to resume mining after an eight-week layoff. . . .I t took weeks for Seattle Tunnel Partners (STP) to pump away enough groundwater to safely allow an 11-day inspection of the front end, which found a concrete chunk and some steel pieces from a pipe Bertha struck Dec. 3, but no major obstacles.
With steel pieces out of the way, the continued overheating suggests a deeper challenge than, say, taking a fork out of the kitchen disposal.

Good question. They are probably too stupid to know who Hitler was. He isn’t on facebook, after all. Or is he?
Now you made me watch the video. I thought I was crazy but I guess I am sane after watching that. Waaaay out there.
OK. Now we need pics.
Is it legal to smoke pot in Seattle?

First Justin Bieber gets busted and now this!
Help me.
And please come skipping and bring the baseball bat.
I wonder if Jeff's drilling head got overheated.
Single Core? WTF? I thought the post was about Common Core.
Seattle Tunnel Drill Uncovers Possible Alien Activities
That's my guess, seeing how every rational explanation has failed to explain the delays, or lead to a resolution of the problem. They've hit a buried alien spacecraft. Figgers it'd be under Seattle.
This is the perfect example of the failure of the Common Core program. /sarc

They might find the cat.
Ha!
I wonder if it’s just Bertha or all the Butt sisters.
