sweet.

i read a pretty interesting article recently about it, for you engineer types.

its about a guy who ran a civil engineering company out of dallas and they did civil type work in disaster and war torn countries.

he went to sarajevo during the siege and reestablished their ancient water system so the citizens wouldnt get picked off by snipers when they went down to the river for water.
