i'm very jealous, i'd love to see hoover dam

here in arkansas, my mom is the chief of hydropower over 2 hydroelectric dams. i got to go on the more "in-depth" dam tour (before 9/11 raised the security level), when one plant was being rebuilt. got to go down into the bottom of the actual spiral case of one unit (that means i was looking up at the turbine, standing next to the gate where the water leaves the unit. the unit was de-watered, of course).

wait, does that mean my mom has a dam eco-job? (sorry, couldn't resist a new dam joke. i've worn all the others out)
