Thus did I think of SCTV's Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok (look 'em up youngsters) when I saw this sign upon exiting the Silver Spring Metro yesterday.

Certainly not a warning one sees every day when taking public transit, the opportunity to see/hear some serious assault against the bedrock that underlies downtown Silver Spring will be too good to pass.

I'll be standing by on the MARC platform that parallels the ever deepening construction pit for the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center this Monday to videotape some of the action and will post it here.

I am in the Discovery offices directly overlooking this on the opposite side of your picture. I am looking forward to seeing what it's like on this side of the road!

Yup, I also work in offices overlooking this site - I need to remember to hop over to the window when the fun begins!
