Look at what I saw recently.  This poor guy is water blasting (I just make this term up) graffiti of the wall of a subway (pedestrian underpass).

He'd clearly been working on the removal for a long time when I saw him.  There was lots of standing water and the stairs were on the slippery side.  The water was bouncing back in his face.  Uck. Dirty, paint-y, high-pressured water bouncing back in your face and all over you.

The single thought that entered my mind was this: poor guy, I am glad that isn't my job.

What's amazing is that now there's not a sign of the graffiti on the wall.  In a city where graffiti seems to be a fixture of the urban landscape and few people seem interested in cleaning up after themselves--there is graffiti removal taking place.
